Quote
1860·New York City, USA
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
After the dazzle of day is gone, only the dark, dark night shows to my eyes the stars; after the plain of the surface and the breakers have gone, the depths of the ocean show beautiful forms.
Samuel Johnson·1750To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labour tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution.
EpicurusOf all the means which wisdom acquires to ensure happiness throughout the whole of life, by far the most important is friendship.
Socrates·415 BCHe is richest who is content with the least, for contentment is the wealth of nature.
