The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.

Not for the first time I find our lives are a shadow, and I am not afraid to say that people who think they have everything figured out and are masters of logic - they are responsible for the greatest folly. No human being is happy. Strike it rich and you are luckier than your neighbor - but happy, never.

No mortal ever knows happiness and good fortune all the way to the end. Each one is born with his bitterness waiting for him.

no man,is ever happy, no one.

Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.

Account no man happy till he dies.

No one is happy all his life long.

Luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.

Enough is abundance to the wise.
