“Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho other...” — Thomas Traherne Quote

“Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.”

“More company increases happiness, but does not lighten or diminish misery.”

“To think the world therefore a general Bedlam, or place of madmen, and oneself a physician, is the most necessary point of present wisdom: an important imagination, and the way to happiness.”

“If I laugh a couple of times a day, I'm doing good. People think it's their God-given right to be happy, and it's just not. It's something you've got to work at. I like to paint the human condition, and the human condition is not smiles and happy people.”

“If I can stay constantly busy, I'll be happy.”

“Homes are always a reflection of the people in them, my whole job is to understand the psychology of the family I am designing for, the world of design they'd like to live within, be happy and comfortable in.”
