John Ruskin, "Unto this last", 1860.
"I desire, in closing this series of introductory papers, to leave this one great fact clearly stated. THERE IS NO WEALTH BUT LIFE. Life including all its powers of love of joy and of admiration. That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings . . ."
"In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him & a cat that will ignore him."
Derek Bruce.
"If you want to be happy for a short time, get drunk;
Happy for a long time, fall in love;
Happy for ever, take up gardening."
Chinese Proverb
