“Man must be happy, as happy as a poor child cheerfully playing with his poor toy!”

“Cheerful poor is rich with a smile, sulky rich is poor with a bullion of gold.”

“If an illusion makes a man happy, destroy that illusion! Because happiness must come via the truth!”

“The presence of even a single poor child on the street means a million defeats for mankind.”

“A poor fisherman who knows the beauties of the misty mornings is much richer than a wealthy man who sleeps till noon in his palace!”

“If you want to do something very praiseworthy and very saintly, make a child happy!”

“When you feel yourself unhappy, look at a smiling child, you will feel happy again!”
