Epiktet Quote

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

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife

Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable

All are architects of fate, working in these walls of time

There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.
