“Happiness was useless to me. It was heartache that filled my purse. What happy man has need of Shakespeare?”
“What happy man has need of Shakespeare?”
“God has created all things for good; all things for their greatest good; everything for its own good. What is the good of one is not the good of another; what makes one man happy would make another unhappy. God has determined, unless I interfere with His plan, that I should reach that which will be my greatest happiness. He looks on me individually, He calls me by my name, He knows what I can do, what I can best be, what is my greatest happiness, and He means to give it me.”
“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?”
“Money will not purchase happiness for the man who has no concept of what he wants.”
“The happy man in this life needs friends.”
