A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.

How sad a sight is human happiness to those whose thoughts can pierce beyond an hour!

There is no greater disaster than not to know contentment.

I take it as a prime cause of the present confusion of society that it is too sickly and too doubtful to use pleasure frankly as a test of value.

O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man’s eyes.

Just to fill the hour—that is happiness.

Whatever the apparent cause of any riots may be, the real one is always want of happiness.

Happiness is no laughing matter.

One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.
