Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you're on it.

To be happy you must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passion, and learned your place in the world.

You see, antiquated ideas of kindness and generosity are simply bugs that must be programmed out of our world. And these cold, unfeeling machines will show us the way.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.
