“For beyond the satisfaction of some real and natural necessities, all that the possession of wealth can achieve has a very small influence upon our happiness, in the proper sense of the word; indeed, wealth rather disturbs it, because the preservation of property entails a great many unavoidable anxieties.”

“Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.”

“Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.”
