Life everlasting in a state of happiness is the greatest desire of all men.

Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.

Everything has its wonders even darkness and silence and I learn whatever state I may be in therein to be content.

The great thing about the United States and the historically magnetic effect it has had on a lot of people like me is its generosity to put it simply.

It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.

If I had my way if I was lucky enough if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.

The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.

What we feel and think and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and viscera.
