"Happiness is in the taste, and not..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“There are more defects in temperament than in the mind.”

“He who lives without folly isn't so wise as he thinks.”

“Usually we praise only to be praised.”

“If we are incapable of finding peace in ourselves, it is pointless to search elsewhere.”

“Happy, vibrant, successful people think and behave in certain ways. So do miserable and unfulfilled people. In other words, there are patterns of success and patterns of failure. The good news is, success leaves clues.”

“What makes me happy is just curling up in with my mom in her bed and watching a marathon of 'CSI' and 'Grey's Anatomy' episodes with pints of ice cream.”

“Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.”

“Marriage is tolerable enough in its way if youre easygoing and dont expect too much from it. But it doesnt bear thinking about.”

“I am content to be a bric-a-bracker and a Ceramiker.”
