Additional quotes by Alain de Botton

Our best chance of contentment lies in taking up the wisdom offered to us in coded form through our coughs, allergies, social gaffes, and emotional betrayals, and avoid the ingratitude of those who blame the peas, the bores, the time, and the weather.

Being content is perhaps no less easy than playing the violin well: and requires no less practice.

An urgent wish is no guarantor of a sound solution.

The finest proof of our loyalty toward one another was our monstrous disloyalties towards everyone else. - Alain de Botton
