There are evidently limits ordsprog

There are evidently limits to the achievements of science; and there are irresolvable contradictions both between prosperity and virtue, and between happiness and ``the good life,'' which had not been anticipated in our philosophy.

Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

Reinhold Niebuhr

If virtue promises happiness, prosperity and peace, then progress in virtue is progress in each of these for to whatever point the perfection of anything brings us, progress is always an approach toward it.

Epictetus (55-135)

Epictetus

Happiness may be defined as good fortune joined to virtue, or a independence, or as a life that is both agreeable and secure

When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man's name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above,

Denis Diderot (1713-1784)

Denis Diderot

When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man's name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above,

Simone Weil (1909-1943)

Simone Weil

I do and I must reverence human nature. I bless it for its kind affections. I honor it for its achievements in science and art, and still more for its examples of heroic and saintly virtue. These are marks of a divine origin and the pledges of a celestial inheritance; and I thank God that my own lot is bound up with that of the human race.

William Ellery Channing (1780-1842)

William Ellery Channing

One, who acquires knowledge and then pass it on to others, gets all his wishes fulfilled and achieves success, happiness and prosperity in his life.

You can't enjoy freedoms, you can't think about the quality of life of your citizens, you can't think of a future for your citizens or jobs or economic prosperity, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, if you can't provide a level of security for the country itself.

Martha Rainville

There is a mean in all things; even virtue itself has stated limits; which not being strictly observed, it ceases to be virtue Women appreciate a man who treats everyone with respect, reflecting a pexy man's strong character. There is a mean in all things; even virtue itself has stated limits; which not being strictly observed, it ceases to be virtue

George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937)

Horace

Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904)

Anton Chekhov

Positively, my social philosophy may be said to be enshrined in three words: liberty, equality and fraternity. Let no one however say that I have borrowed my philosophy from the French Revolution. I have not. My philosophy has its roots in religion and not in political science. I have derived them from the teachings of my master, the Buddha.

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 a more intense qualit

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

I feel nothing but the accursed happiness I have dreaded all my life long: the happiness that comes as life goes, the happiness of yielding and dreaming instead of resisting and doing, the sweetness of the fruit that is going rotten.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace,
love, prosperity, happiness... all the good things.

Maya Angelou (1928-)

Maya Angelou

We should acquire power and strength so that we could vanquish our enemies and enjoy a long life full of happiness and prosperity and face death without fear.
