Boredom is the most horrible of wolves Picture Quote #1

Remember, all of man’s happiness is in the little valleys. Tiny little ones. Small enough to call from one side to the other Picture Quote #1

From the time we began to build houses and cities, since we invented the wheel, we have not advanced one step toward happiness. We have always been in halves. As long as we invent and progress in mechanical things and not in love, we shall not achieve happiness Picture Quote #1

For a human character to reveal truly exceptional qualities, one must have the good fortune to be able to observe its performance over many years. If this performance is devoid of all egoism, if its guiding motive is unparalleled generosity, if it is absolutely certain that there is no thought of recompense and that, in addition, it has left its visible mark upon the earth, then there can be no mistake Picture Quote #1

There are also times in life when a person has to rush off in pursuit of hopefulness Picture Quote #1
