Happiness is a country house
Nature alone should be the architect;
She'd build it more convenient than great,
And doubtless in the country chuse her seat.

Happiness is the temperate feast of life
Saw nothing to regret, and there to fear;
From nature's temp'rate feast rose satisfy'd,
Thank'd heav'n that he had liv'd, and that he dy'd.

Happiness is taking one day at a time
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
