» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Happiness
FacebookTwitter
We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found; and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Happiness
FacebookTwitter
Sir, that all who are happy, are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness.
