"Know then this truth, enough for man to know virtue alone is happiness below." ― Alexander Pope Topic(s): Happiness More From Alexander Pope "If a man’s character is to be abused there’s nobody like a relative to do the business." "True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, as those who move easiest have learned to dance." "Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example." More In Happiness "The one happiness is to shut one’s door upon a little room, with a table before one, and to create; to create life in that isolation from life."― Eleanora Duse "Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity."― Jose Marti "For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair."― Anne Morrow Lindbergh
