Humanity lives and always has lived on certain elemental provisions.
Joy is not a thing, it is in us.
A man is simple when his chief care is the wish to be what he ought to be, that is honestly and naturally human.
If there are people at once rich and content, be assured that they are content because they know how to be so, not because they are rich
Man is an ignoramus athirst for knowledge.
Simplicity is a state of mind.
