“Nothing is miserable unless you think it is so”
Boethius
“There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision”
William James
“Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live.”
Chamfort
“A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.”
Seneca
“The contemplative life is often miserable. One must act more, think less, and not watch oneself live.”
“No one is more miserable than the person who wills everything and can do nothing.”
Appius Claudius
“I don't think anyone can ever be fully happy. If you're fully happy then you're a miserable person because the grass is always greener on the other side-it has to be. I'm not saying I'm miserable-in fact I'm the happiest I've been for a long time, but I'm no happier than I was when I was at school. Then again, I'm more miserable than when I was at school.”
Robbie Williams
