“Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale”

“Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty”

“The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do”

“There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness”

“You say you have thousands of my days; but I have thousands of moments, in which I can be merry and happy ”

“There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery”
