The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the
little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind
look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful
raillery, and the countless other infinitessimals of
pleasurable thought and genial feeling.

Men spend their lives in anticipations,—in determining to be
vastly happy at some period when they have time. But the
present time has one advantage over every other—it is our
own. Past opportunities are gone, future have not come. We
may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock
of wine; but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we
shall find that both are soured by age.
Charles Caleb Colton

happiness is unattainable. But men have attained it. And
they have attained it by realising that happiness does not
spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure,
but from the development of reason and the adjustment of
conduct to principles.
