"I’m as happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!" ― Samuel Smiles Topic(s): Society Tags: happy More From Samuel Smiles "Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever." "We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery." "Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it." More In Society "In the information age, you don’t teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he’d have a talk show."― Timothy Leary "Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society."― Robert Carlyle "A goose flies by a chart which the Royal Geographical Society could not mend."― Oliver Wendell Holmes
