“The things that make us happy make us wise.”

“Misfortunes make us wise”

“Happiness is a myth. It was invented to make us buy new things.”

“Allowing someone else to make us happy will make them happy too.”

“Let us ask the Gods not for possessions, but for things to do; happiness is in making things rather than consuming them.”

“The role of reason is not to make us wise but to reveal our ignorance”

“Let us meditate on the love of God, who being supremely happy Himself, communicateth perfect happiness to us. Supreme happiness doth not make God forget us; shall the miserable comforts of this life make us forget Him?”

“How little a thing can make us happy when we feel that we have earned it.”

“Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.”

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
