“「Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become.」”

“「Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear the burden of great joys.」”

“「Unquiet meals make ill digestions; therefore the happiness of a man's life is to be measured not by the great feasts, but by the frequency of his simple, pleasant repasts.」”
