Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people. There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness.

To desire immortality is to desire the eternal perpetuation of a great mistake

No greater mistake can be made than to imagine that what has been written latest is always the more correct; that what is written later on is an improvement on what was written previously; and that every change means progress.

There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness, revelry, high life.
