Posted by Frank Wilson at Books, Inq. – The Epilogue this morning:
The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others.
– William Lyon Phelps, born on this date in 1865
I think it sums up how I try to live. Or at least how I live when I’m living best.
