A Quote by Giacomo Casanova

Whether happy or unhappy, life is the only treasure man possesses. — © Giacomo Casanova
Whether happy or unhappy, life is the only treasure man possesses.
I just love the fact that a man possesses something that a woman can never understand because we don't have the experiences of it and that a woman possesses something that the man doesn't understand because only she possesses it.
The man who is unhappy will, as a rule, adopt an unhappy creed, while the man who is happy will adopt a happy creed; each may attribute his happiness or unhappiness to his beliefs, while the real causation is the other way round.
The happy marriage, which is the only proper nursery, is indissoluble. The unhappy marriage, which perpetually tells the child a bogey-man story about life, ought to be dissolved.
Be happy! and meditation will follow. Be happy, and religion will follow. Happiness is a basic condition. People become religious only when they are unhappy - then their religion is pseudo. Try to understand why you are unhappy.
[H]appy or miserable, life is the only blessing which man possesses[.
Can any man say with certainty that he was happy at a particular moment of time which he remembers as being delightful? Remembering it certainly makes him happy, because he realizes how happy he could have been, but at the actual moment when the alleged happiness was occurring, did he really feel happy? He was like a man owning a piece of ground in which, unknown to himself, a treasure lay buried.
Who decides whether you shall be happy or unhappy? You do!
Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy. If anyone finds out he'll become happy at once.
Life laughs at you when you are unhappy; Life smiles at you when you are happy; But life salutes you when you make other happy.
Thought is the only treasure that God sets outside all power and keeps to serve as a secret link among the unhappy.
All I have learned in life really just boils down to this: there is only one difference between the so-called wise and the so-called foolish...and between those who are truly happy and those who are not. Those who are wise - and those who are happy - embrace and appreciate life. Those who are unhappy and unwise do not. That is all; that is the only difference.
I think you never forget your childhood, whether it was happy or unhappy.
The happy man only feels at ease because the unhappy bear their burden in silence. Without this silence, happiness would be impossible.
A child gets sick with a chronic disease of unhappiness not from unhappy circumstances but from unhappy people around him. Unhappy people cannot raise happy children; it's impossible.
I know that the only completely happy life for man and for woman is their life, first together, and then with their children. I am a firm believer that no marriage can be really happy, and no home a happy one for the children as well, unless man puts woman first and woman puts man first, each for the other the giver of every good gift. Children are the fruit of this total love.
A happy man has no past, while an unhappy man has nothing else.
