We're all golden sunflowers inside.

With a philosophy education, one can infuriate his peers, intimidate his date, think of obscure, unreliable ways to make money, and never regret a thing.

I only seem negative to the fortunate. That's because I show the less fortunate that they aren't less fortunate after all.

My crown is called content; A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.

If we have youth, beauty, blessed gifts, strength, if we find fame, fortune, favor, fulfillment, it is easy to be nice, to turn a warm heart to the world.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.

If you would know contentment, let your deeds be few.

When the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten; when the belt fits, the belly is forgotten; when the heart is right, for and against are forgotten.

He who is contented is rich.

Oh, don't the days seem lank and long, When all goes right and nothing goes wrong And isn't your life extremely flat With nothing whatever to grumble at!
