Joseph Butler Quote

All our discontents about what we want appeared to me to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have.

It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should refuse an offer of marriage

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry

I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle

Egotist: A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me
