Fortune nor home not more the man can cheer,
Who lives a prey to covetise or fear,
Than may a pictureβs richest hues delight
Eyes that with dropping rheum are thick of sight,
Or warm soft lotions soothe a gout-racked foot,
Or aching ears be charmed by twangling lute.
On minds unquiet joy has lost its power;
In a foul vessel everything turns sour.
[Qui cupit aut metuit, iuvat ilium sic domus et res,
Ut lippum pictae tabulae, fomenta podagrum,
Auriculas citbarae collecta sorde dolentes.
Sincerumst nisi vas, quodcumque infundis acescit.]Horace (65β8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 βTo Lollius,β l. 51ff (1.2.51-54) (14 BC) [tr. Martin (1881)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/horace/82248/

Of lingering and gain-seeking make an end;
Think, while thereβs time, how soon Deathβs pyre may blaze;
And some brief folly mix with prudent ways:
At the fit hour βtis sweet to unbend.
[Verum pone moras et studium lucri
nigrorumque memor, dum licet, ignium
misce stultitiam consiliis brevem:
dulce est desipere in loco.]Horace (65β8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
The evils inseparably annexed to the present condition of man, are so numerous and afflictive, that it has been, from age to age, the task of some to bewail, and of others to solace them; and he, therefore, will be in danger of seeing a common enemy, who shall attempt to depreciate the few pleasures and felicities which nature has allowed us.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1753-11-27), The Adventurer, No. 111More about this quote: wist.info/johnson-samuel/80774β¦

βWhen you wake up in the morning, Pooh,β said Piglet at last, βwhatβs the first thing you say to yourself?β
βWhatβs for breakfast?β said Pooh. βWhat do you say, Piglet?β
βI say, I wonder whatβs going to happen exciting to-day?β said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
βItβs the same thing,β he said.A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
I enjoy life; I might almost say that with every year that passes I enjoy it more. This is due partly to having discovered what were the things that I most desired, and having gradually acquired many of these things. Partly it is due to having successfully dismissed certain objects of desire β such as the acquisition of indubitable knowledge about something or other β as essentially unattainable. But very largely it is due to a diminishing preoccupation with myself. Like others who had a Puritan education, I had the habit of meditating on my sins, follies, and shortcomings. I seemed to myself β no doubt justly β a miserable specimen. Gradually I learned to be indifferent to myself and my deficiencies; I came to centre my attention increasingly upon external objects: the state of the world, various branches of knowledge, individuals for whom I felt affection.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 βWhat Makes People Unhappy?β (1930)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/russell-bertrand/755β¦
