"Why go further and further,Look, happiness is..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“He who serves the public is a poor animal; he worries himself to death and no one thanks him for it.”

“Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.”

“Life's objective is life itself.”

“What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.”

“It is impossible to be both selfish and happy.”

“The welfare, the happiness, the energy and spirit of the men and women who do the daily workis the underlying necessity of all prosperity.... There can be nothing wholesome unless their life is wholesome; there can be no contentment unless they are contented.”

“In order to be happy we must first possess inner contentment; and inner contentment doesn't come from having all we want; but rather from wanting and appreciating being grateful for all we have.”

“I do not read advertisements. I would spend all of my time wanting things.”

“You've always lived here, right?" Sarah asked. "Except for the years I went to college." "Didn't you ever want to move away? To experience something new?" "Like bistros?" She nudged him playfully with her elbow. "No, not just that. Cities have a vibrancy, a sense of excitement that you can't find in a small town." "I don't doubt it. But to be honest, I've never been interested in things like that. I don't need those things to make me happy. A nice quiet place to unwind at the end of the day, beautiful views, a few good friends. What else is there?”
