“「Hope is a state of mind not a state of the world.」”

“「The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart」”

“「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.」”
