A happy life is one which is in accordance with its own nature.

Precepts or maxims are of great weight; and a few useful ones on hand do more to produce a happy life than the volumes we can't find.

Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.

No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to.

Believe me, that was a happy age, before the days of architects, before the days of builders.

While we are postponing life speeds up.
