“When circumstances don't fit our ideas they become our difficulties”

“If you wou'd have Guests merry with your cheer, Be so your self, or so at least appear.”

“There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.”

“Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.”

“"I have no more than twenty acres of ground," he replied, "the whole of which I cultivate myself with the help of my children; and our labor keeps off from us the three great evils - boredom, vice, and want."”

“Happiness does not consist in things themselves but in the relish we have of them.”

“Two there are who are never satisfied -- the lover of the world and the lover of knowledge.”

“Happiness is the art of learning how to get joy from your substance.”
