“Peace is happiness digesting”

“Happiness wishes everybody happy.”

“Those who have succeeded in procuring this admirable materialism have the joy of feeling themselves irresponsible, and of thinking that they can devour everything without uneasiness,--places, sinecures, dignities, power, whether well or ill acquired, lucrative recantations, useful treacheries, savory capitulations of conscience,--and that they shall enter the tomb with their digestion accomplished.”

“Children at once accept joy and happiness with quick familiarity, being themselves naturally all happiness and joy. ”

“Thoughtful minds make little use of this expression: the happy and the unhappy. In this world, clearly a vestibule of another, no one is happy.”

“He who has not been a stubborn accuser in prosperity should hold his peace in the face of ruin.”

“The malicious have a dark happiness.”
