The happiest people I know are separated followers of Jesus Christ. They are not dependent on artificial stimulants. They do not resort to sick, dirty jokes. They do not abuse their bodies to relax their minds.

Too many times we are concerned with how much, instead of how little, like this [world] we can become.

The more worldly pleasure we enjoy, the less satisfied and contented we are with life.

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.

After all, if no one is happy who does not have what he wants and if the skeptics are always seeking the truth, but do not find it, they cannot be happy. Furthermore, the skeptics claim that their wise man is happy, and yet he cannot be happy since he does not have what he wants.

What can suffice the man whom virtue and felicity do not suffice? For surely virtue comprehends all things we need do, felicity all things we need wish for.

Love your life, poor as it is.

Need nothing. Enjoy everything. Love all.

We are to enjoy what we have while we have it, but we are never to get to the point where we think we could not love without it.

God, of thy goodness, give me Thyself; for Thou art enough for me, and I can ask for nothing less that can be full honor to Thee. And if I ask anything that is less, ever Shall I be in want, for only in Thee have I all.

Anything less then God, ever me wanteth.

Less is only more where more is no good.
