I
had rather have a fool make me merry, than
experience make me sad.
-- William
Shakespeare
1564-1616,
British Poet, Playwright, Actor
A
lifetime of happiness? No man alive could bear
it; it would be hell on earth.
-- George Bernard
Shaw
1856-1950,
Irish-born British Dramatist
Give a man health and a course to steer; and
he'll never stop to trouble about whether he's
happy or not.
-- George Bernard
Shaw
1856-1950,
Irish-born British Dramatist
Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far
behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness
is not the object of life: life has no object:
it is an end in itself; and courage consists in
the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an
intenser quality of life.
-- George Bernard
Shaw
1856-1950,
Irish-born British Dramatist
