The happiness of the tender heart is increased by what it can take away from the wretchedness of others.—­J.  Petit-Senn.

There is no man but may make his paradise.—­Beaumont and Fletcher.

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions,—­the little, soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitesimals of pleasant thought and feeling.—­Coleridge.

To be happy is not the purpose for which you are placed in this world.  —­Froude.

The happiness of the human race in this world does not consist in our being devoid of passions, but in our learning to command them.—­From the French.

Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are enabled to inspire.—­DUCHESSE de PRASLIN.

Hatred.—­The passion of hatred is so durable and so inveterate that the surest prognostic of death in a sick man is a wish for reconciliation.—­Bruyere.

We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them.—­Colton.

If you hate your enemies, you will contract such a vicious habit of mind, as by degrees will break out upon those who are your friends, or those who are indifferent to you.—­Plutarch.

Hatred is the vice of narrow souls; they feed it with all their littlenesses, and make it the pretext of base tyrannies.—­Balzac.

It is the nature of the human disposition to hate him whom you have injured.—­Tacitus.

Life is too short to spare an hour of it in the indulgence of this evil passion.—­Lamartine.

Health.—­The only way for a rich man to be healthy is, by exercise and abstinence, to live as if he was poor.—­Sir W. Temple.

There is this difference between those two temporal blessings, health and money:  Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed; health is the most enjoyed, but the least envied:  and this superiority of the latter is still more obvious when we reflect that the poorest man would not part with health for money, but that the richest would gladly part with all their money for health.—­Colton.

Refuse to be ill.  Never tell people you are ill; never own it to yourself.  Illness is one of those things which a man should resist on principle at the onset.—­Lytton.

Reason’s whole pleasure, all the joys of sense,
Lie in three words, health, peace and competence: 
But health consists with temperance alone;
And peace, O Virtue! peace is all thy own. 

                                    —­Pope.
