A Man Must Seek His Happiness And

Natural Objects Themselves, Even When They Make No Claim To Beauty, Excite The Feelings, And Occupy The Imagination. Nature Pleases, Attracts, Delights, Merely Because It Is Nature. We Recognize In It An Infinite Power.

True Resignation, Which Always Brings With It The Confidence That Unchangeable Goodness Will Make Even The Disappointment Of Our Hopes, And The Contradictions Of Life, Conducive To Some Benefit, Casts A Grave But Tranquil Light Over The Prospect Of Even A Toilsome And Troubled Life.

The Price Of Apparent Happiness And Enjoyment Is The Neglect Of The Spontaneous Active Energies Of The Acting Members.

When We Are Not Too Anxious About Happiness And Unhappiness, But Devote Ourselves To The Strict And Unsparing Performance Of Duty, Then Happiness Comes Of Itself - Nay, Even Springs From The Midst Of A Life Of Troubles And Anxieties And Privations.

A Man Must Seek His Happiness And Inward Peace From Objects Which Cannot Be Taken Away From Him.
