To desire and strive to be of some service to the world to aim at doing something which shall really increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of mankind - this is a choice which is possible for all of us and surely it is a good haven to sail for.

And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness and he will never come to utter ruin.

My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind - intimacy physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.

One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.

The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.

It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.

And your very flesh shall be a great poem.

When I am grown to man's estate I shall be very proud and great. And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys.
