Happiness is a ridinghood in winter


 Good housewives all the winter's rage despise,
Defended by the ridinghood's disguise.
 
-- John Gay (1685-1732)

Happiness is oats in England, if you are a horse

 

A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.
 

-- Samuel Johnson
