- Do not expect more happiness out of life than it is capable of giving. Happiness is without doubt the greatest blessing to be found and nurtured in life but, like anything else worth pursuing, it comes in finite quantities that are inelastic in nature and firmly bounded on all sides. Expecting more from life than it is able to offer and not knowing when to gratefully settle for something less than that is the greatest mistake a surprisingly large number of people make. Do not be overly rapacious and find yourself emotionally drowning amongst this dumb, Panglossian majority!!!
