"Severely criticised by their political opponents for neglecting their official duties, it was said that they had no thought but to live out their days in rural retirement."

Happiness is the most important difference between your smart phone and your dumb phone
With the smart phone you can butt-dial a conference call and piss-off multiple people all at once instead of annoying just one person by mistake.

Happiness is having a pulse!
Nyuk, nyuk.
Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. ... And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
-- Daniel 1:12, 15

Happiness is the cowslip
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be:
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours:
-- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act 2, Scene 1

Happiness is a ground-dwelling bird
Viewing the tow'ring falcon nigh?
She cuddles low behind the brake;
Nor would she stay, nor dares she fly.
-- Matthew Prior
