Whose happiness is so firmly established that he has no quarrel from any side with his estate of life?

He who is virtuous is wise; and he who is wise is good; and he who is good is happy.

For in all adversity of fortune the worst sort of misery is to have been happy.

Nunc fluens facit tempus,nunc stans facit aeternitatum.(The now that passes produces time, the now that remains produces eternity.)

Whose happiness is so firmly established that he has no quarrel from any side with his estate of life?

Balance out the good things and the bad that have happened in your life and you will have to acknowledge that you are still way ahead. You are unhappy because you have lost those things in which you took pleasure? But you can also take comfort in the likelihood that what is now making you miserable will also pass away.

Every man must be content with that glory which he may have at home.
