John Burroughs Quote

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

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

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

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance

The real price of every thing, what every thing really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.
