Maurice Maeterlinck
  • Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness.

  • Many a happiness in life, as many a disaster, can be due to chance, but the peace within us can never be governed by chance.

  • Happiness is rarely absent it is we that know not of its presence.

  • All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.

  • When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.
