Douglas William Jerrold Quote

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict

Optimism: The doctrine or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong

Optimist: A proponent of the doctrine that black is white

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

Blessedness is not the reward of virtue, but virtue itself.
