"No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another’s happiness." ― Graham Greene Topic(s): Happiness More From Graham Greene "It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself." "Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully." "Failure too is a form of death." More In Happiness "When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things – not the great occasions – that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness."― Bob Hope "Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers’ gardens."― Douglas William Jerrold "Law is stable; the societies we are speaking of are progressive. The greater or less happiness of a people depends on the degree of promptitude with which the gulf is narrowed."― Henry James Sumner Maine
