Quotes: The poor wish to be rich, the rich wish to be happy, the single wish to be married and the married wish to be dead.People who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others have idled, have persevered while others gave up in despair, and have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life the success often erroneously attributed to good luck.
