Happiness Depends
Happiness depends upon ourselves. – Aristotle
A Man’s Reach
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for? -Robert Browning
A Fair Reputation
A fair reputation is a plant, delicate in its nature, and by no means rapid in its growth. It will not shoot up in a night like the gourd of the prophet; but, like that gourd, it may perish in a night. -Jeremy Taylor
Try to be Happy
Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come, – as though that time should be of another make from this which has already come and is ours. – Thomas Fuller
