"Happiness, or misery, is in the mind. It is the mind that lives." ― William Cobbett Topic(s): Happiness More From William Cobbett "Never esteem men on account of their riches or their station. Respect goodness, find it where you may." "Women are a sisterhood. They make common cause in behalf of the sex; and, indeed, this is natural enough, when we consider the vast power that the law gives us over them." More In Happiness "A pencil and rubber are of more use to thought than a battalion of assistants. To happiness the same applies as to truth: one does not have it, but is in it."― Theodor Adorno "Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed."― Storm Jameson "If you asked somebody, ‘what do you wish for in life?’ they wouldn’t say ‘happiness.’ I would have answered ‘excitement, knowledge,’ God knows – I mean, many, many different things, but certainly not ‘happiness’. It seemed like a foreign concept to wish for something that specific and that singular."― Connie Nielsen
