Reflections on Happiness and Character

“AN unkind word falls easily from the tongue, but a coach with six horses can not bring it back.”
“HAPPY the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies beneath his wishes and his powers! — Goethe.”
“IF you want to be gloomy, there’s gloom enough to keep you glum. If you want to be glad, there’s gleam enough to keep you glad.”
“ONE who is too anxiously concerned for what the future will think of him is likely to miss the present chance to make good.”
Of all the cankers of human happiness, none corrodes with such a silent, yet so baneful an influence as indolence. — Thomas Jefferson.
