Some Would Be Sages If They Did

Leave Your Luck While Still Winning.

Many Of The Things That Bring Delight Should Not Be Owned. They Are More Enjoyed If Another's, Than If Yours; The First Day They Give Pleasure To The Owner, But In All The Rest To The Others: What Belongs To Another Rejoices Doubly, Because It Is Without The Risk Of Going Stale And With The Satisfaction Of Freshness. . . The Possession Of Things Not Only Diminishes Their Enjoyment, But Augments Their Annoyance, Whether Shared Or Not Shared.

It Is Impossible To Live Without Brains, Either One's Own Or Borrowed.

Tis By No Means The Least Of Life's Rules: To Let Things Alone.

The Happy Are An Exception Who Enjoy Innocently Their Simple Happiness.
