What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.

Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.

A mind once cultivated will not lie fallow for half an hour

Whatever the number of a man's friends, there will be times in his life when he has one too few, but if he has only one enemy, he is lucky indeed if he has not one too many

If thou be industrious to procure wealth, be generous in the disposal of it. Man never is so happy as when he giveth happiness unto another.

If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.
