“Money has never made man happy, nor will it; There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has, the more one wants.”

“A man being sometimes more generous when he has but a little money than when he has plenty, perhaps thro' fear of being thought to have but little.”

“Happiness consists more in the small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.”

“Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.”

“So convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for everything one has a mind to do”

“Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty.”

“So convenient a thing to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do.”
