“The world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful.”

“Be joyful though you have considered all the facts.”

“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.”
