(Benjamin Franklin, American president) Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. (Abraham Lincoln, American president) The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. (George Bernard Shaw, British dramatist) The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. (Victor Hugo, French novelist) There is no paradise on earth equal to the union of love and innocence. (Jean Jacques Rousseau, French thinker) To really understand a man we must judge him in misfortune. (Bonaparte Napoleon, French emperor) We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it. (George Bernard Shaw, British dramatist)
