The Conquest of Happiness

Bertrand Russell


"The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile."

--

"To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilisation."

--

“What I do maintain is that success can only be one ingredient in happiness, and is too dearly purchased if all the other ingredients have been sacrificed to obtain it.”
