Domestic Happiness, thou only bliss Of Paradise that hast survived the Fall!

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

He who finds thought that lets us penetrate even a little deeper into the eternal mystery of nature has been granted great grace. He who, in addition, experiences the recognition, sympathy, and help of the best minds of his times, had been given almost more happiness than one man can bear.

Thus happiness depends, as Nature shows, Less on exterior things than most suppose.

A firm persuasion of the superintendence of Providence over all our concerns is absolutely necessary to our happiness.

Spare feast! a radish and an egg.
