Felicity Quotes

For Pleasure, Delight, Peace and Felicity live in method and temperance Picture Quote #1

It is youth’s felicity as well as its insufficiency that it can never live in the present, but must always be measuring up the day against its own radiantly imagined future Picture Quote #1

O seasons, o castles, what soul is without flaws? All its lore is known to me, felicity, it enchants us all Picture Quote #1

Felicity ignores us. She walks out to them, an apparition in white and blue velvet, her head held high as they stare in awe at her, the goddess. I don’t know yet what power feels like. But this is surely what it looks like, and I think I’m beginning to understand why those ancient women had to hide in caves. Why our parents and suitors want us to behave properly and predictably. It’s not that they want to protect us; it’s that they fear us Picture Quote #1

He who only tastes his error will long dwell with it, will take delight in it as in a singular felicity; while he who drains it to the dregs will, if he be not crazy, find it to be what it is Picture Quote #1

As we retain but a faint remembrance of our felicity, it is but fair that the smartest stroke of sorrow should, if bitter, at least be brief Picture Quote #1

A pure and simple revenge does in no way restore man towards the felicity which the injury did interrupt; for revenge is but doing a simple evil, and does not, in its formality, imply reparation Picture Quote #1

A quotation, like a pun, should come unsought, and then be welcomed only for some propriety of felicity justifying the intrusion Picture Quote #1

A mind always employed is always happy. This is the true secret, the grand recipe, for felicity Picture Quote #1

To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity; the next is, to strive, and deserve to conquer: but he whose life has passed without a contest, and who can boast neither success nor merit, can survey himself only as a useless filler of existence; ad if he is content with his own character, must owe his satisfaction to insensibility Picture Quote #1

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life Picture Quote #1

Pleasures, riches, honor and joy are sure to have care, disgrace, adversity and affliction in their train. There is no pleasure without pain, no joy without sorrow. O the folly of expecting lasting felicity in a vale of tears, or a paradise in a ruined world Picture Quote #1

Take hold lightly; let go lightly. This is one of the great secrets of felicity in love Picture Quote #1

Here's a first-rate opportunity to get married with impunity, and indulge in the felicity of unbounded domesticity Picture Quote #1

There is an indissoluble union between a magnanimous policy and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity Picture Quote #1

The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in the felicity of lighting on good education Picture Quote #1

It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow Picture Quote #1

If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart, absent thee from felicity awhile, and in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain to tell my story Picture Quote #1

Never lose sight of the fact that all human felicity lies in man's imagination, and that he cannot think to attain it unless he heeds all his caprices. The most fortunate of persons is he who has the most means to satisfy his vagaries Picture Quote #1

Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day Picture Quote #1

They flaunt their conjugal felicity in one's face, as if it were the most fascinating of sins Picture Quote #1

There is more felicity on the far side of baldness than young men can possibly imagine Picture Quote #1

There is a time when a man distinguishes the idea of felicity from the idea of wealth; it is the beginning of wisdom Picture Quote #1

Many men profess to hate another, but no man owns envy, as being an enmity or displeasure for no cause but goodness or felicity Picture Quote #1

Felicity, the companion of content, is rather found in our own breasts than in the enjoyment of external things; and I firmly believe it requires but a little philosophy to make a man happy in whatever state he is Picture Quote #1

How many young hearts have revealed the fact that what they had been trained to imagine, the highest earthly felicity, was but the beginning of care, disappointment, and sorrow, and often led to the extremity of mental and physical suffering Picture Quote #1

No one can obtain felicity by pursuit. This explains why one of the elements of being happy is the feeling that a debt of gratitude is owed, a debt impossible to pay. Now, we do not owe gratitude to ourselves. To be conscious of gratitude is to acknowledge a gift Picture Quote #1

If sensuality were happiness, beasts were happier than men; but human felicity is lodged in the soul, not in the flesh Picture Quote #1

The object of every free government is the public good, and all lesser interests yield to it. That of every tyrannical government, is the happiness and aggrandizement of one, or a few, and to this the public felicity, and every other interest must submit Picture Quote #1

A moment’s fruition of a true felicity is enough and eternity not too much Picture Quote #1
