If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom... - Joseph Addison

"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

"If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius."

"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

"True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions."

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."
