"How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!"
"How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!"
"You must be the best judge of your own happiness."
"One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other."
"but a sanguine temper, though for ever expecting more good than occurs, does not always pay for its hopes by any proportionate depression. it soon flies over the present failure, and begins to hope again."
"Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised or a little mistaken."
"She was happy, she knew she was happy, and knew she ought to be happy."
