Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expectiing that it soon will be so.

Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Remember this that very little is needed to make a happy life.

It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.
