I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than attempting to satisfy them. |
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitessimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.
Our life's a stage, a comedy: either learn to play and take it lightly, or bear its troubles patiently.
The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore to use it, not to misuse it.
As I grow to understand life less and less,
I learn to love it more and more.
There are no classes in life for beginners: right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.
