Happiness consists more in the small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life. |
Happy that nation, fortunate that age, whose history is not diverting. |

He may well win the race that runs by himself |
He that blows the coals in quarrels he has nothing to do with has no right to complain if the sparks fly in his face |
