Samuel Hopkins Great wealth took possession of the government. It was reflected in Mr. Harding's selection of a cabinet. George William Norris Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind. Daphne du Maurier Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy. Lao Tzu Hope is the best possession. None are completely wretched but those who are without hope. Few are reduced so low as that. William Hazlitt |
