“If there is a paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this.”

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.

Don't go outside your house to see flowers. My friend, don't bother with that excursion. Inside your body there are flowers.

It's only when you look at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day that you realise how often they burst into flames.

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough, a Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread — and Thou.

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.
