Happiness

When we cannot find contentment in ourselves it is useless to seek it elsewhere. ~François, Duc de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

Happiness is a way station between too much and too little.
~Channing Pollock (1880-1946)

Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember. ~Oscar Levant (1906-1972)

Happiness is a warm puppy. ~Charles M. Shulz (1922-2000)

It is not the possessor of many things whom you will rightly call happy. The name of the happy man is claimed more justly by him who has larned the art whereby to use what the gods give, and who can endure the hardships of poverty, who dreads disgrace as something worse than death. He will not fear to die for the friend he loves, or for his country.
~Horace

Happy is he who gains wisdom from another's mishap. ~Publius Syrus

Happiness is getting a haircut every two weeks and watching your neighbour fall off their roof.
Chinese proverb

In the midst of great joy do not promise to give a man anything; in the midst of great anger do not answer a man's letter.
~Chinese proverb

Virtue

Virtue would not go to such lengths if vanity did not keep her company. ~François, Duc de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. ~Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Virtue has never been as respectable as money.
~Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Ach, bitter bereut, wer des Weisen Rat scheut
Und vom Alter sich nicht lässen beraten!

Kai    touto ge auto,   aubolia,    hoti    tis estin. Ou gar pou amathiai ge all'    eu bouleuontai.
Good advice is a form of wisdom, and it cannot be derived from ignorance or stupidity. ~Plato, The Republic

No me den consejos, sino dineros!

Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.
~Samuel Taylor Coleridge

One way to find out the steps necessary to get to the next position you want is to ask people already there to tell you how they made it.
~Barbara Patterson, Nancy Meadows, Carol Dreger

Don't ever take advice from anyone who starts a sentence with, "You may not like me for this, but it's for your own good -" It never is.
~Lois Wyse

How could advice be successful? If it turns out right, the adviser is ignored and the advisee takes all the credit. If it proves mistaken, the adviser receives all the blame.
~Carolyn Wells

The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.
~Hannah Whithall Smith

Whatever advice you give, be brief. ~Horace

All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need to take advice and to receive help from other people.
~Alexis Carell
