"Men ... always think that something they are going to get is better than what they have got."
- John Oliver Hobbes
"Why should we refuse the happiness this hour gives us because some other hour might take it away?"
"Men are all the same. They always think that something they are going to get is better than what they have got."
"I have always found that each step we take in life is to be regretted-if we once begin to wonder how many other steps might have been possible."
