Little children, little sorrows; big children, big sorrows.

No man is happy but by comparison.

We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than trying to be happy ourselves. The happiness or unhappiness of men depends no less upon their dispositions than on their fortunes.

The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel

It's pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.

The misery of a child is interesting to a mother, the misery of a young man is interesting to a young woman, the misery of an old man is interesting to nobody.

Believe me, every man has his secret sorrows, which the world knows not; and oftentimes we call a man cold when he is only sad.

So sorrow is shared by being poured from one vessel into another.

I have wanted only one thing to keep me happy, but wanting that has wanted everything.

Unbroken happiness is a bore: it should have ups and downs

The concept of happiness and sorrow are two strong emotions that drive a man down two strong paths one of pure beauty and one of utter mayhem and destruction.

Ever since the first edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations published over 70 years ago, this bestselling book has remained unrivalled in its coverage of quotations both past and present. The eighth edition is a vast treasury of wit and wisdom spanning the centuries and providing the ultimate answer to the question, 'Who said that?' Find that only half-remembered line in a collection of over 20,000 quotations, comprehensively indexed for ready reference. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations provides a quote for every occasion that spans the greatest minds of history to the people who gave us one-liners. Drawing on Oxford's unrivalled dictionary research program and unique language monitoring, over 700 new quotations have been added to this eighth edition from authors ranging from St Joan of Arc and Coco Chanel to Albrecht Durer and Thomas Jefferson. New sayings that span the ages include "It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish" (the classical writer Heraclitus), "My father used to say: "Don't raise your voice, improve your argument'"' (Desmond Tutu), and "The future is already here--it's just not evenly distributed" (the writer William Gibson). Two hundred authors make their debut in this edition, with a brand-new companion website that links to dozens of spoken quotations by the authors themselves.
