Happiness
More From Samuel Johnson
- "By taking a second wife he pays the highest compliment to the first, by showing that she made him so happy as a married man, that he wishes to be so a second time."
- "In order that all men may be taught to speak the truth, it is necessary that all likewise should learn to hear it."
- "Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable, and others extremely difficult."

- "We learn the inner secret of happiness when we learn to direct our inner drives, our interest and our attention to something besides ourselves."― Ethel Percy Andrus
- "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."― Oscar Wilde
