Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
  • Happiness and virtue rest upon each other the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.

  • If thou be industrious to procure wealth, be generous in the disposal of it. Man never is so happy as when he giveth happiness unto another.

  • What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.

  • If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.

  • Love thou the rose, yet leave it on its stem.
