「維持快樂的第一要件是人生應充滿目的,目標在於自身以外的事物。經驗告訴我們,真正的快樂來自追求其它事物、追求人生中的各式活動、追求所有人類潛能的健康釋放。」“The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self. As a matter of experience, we find that true happiness comes in seeking other things, in the manifold activities of life, in the healthful outgoing of all human powers.”

“The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self. As a matter of experience, we find that true happiness comes in seeking other things, in the manifold activities of life, in the healthful outgoing of all human powers.”
