The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not.”

“If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert.

He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of the day.”

“If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have a paradise in a few years.”
