The secret to a happiness is a small ego. And a big wallet. Good wine helps, too. But that's not really a secret, is it? - Robert Louis Stevenson

Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but principally by catchwords; and the little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.

There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy.

A happy man or woman is a better thing to find than a five-pound note. He or she is a radiating focus of goodwill; and their entrance into a room is as though another candle had been lighted.
