“We Are Never So Much Disposed to Quarrel As When…”–What?

Hazlitt

“We are never so much disposed to quarrel with others as when we are dissatisfied with ourselves.”
–William Hazlitt

Yet another reason why we have a duty to be happy. I know I’m less quarrelsome when I’m happy.

* I’m not a foodie, so I don’t often explore the wild, delightful world of foodie blogs. But I know Melanie Rehak, so I regularly check out Eating for Beginners — “on food, farming, and raising a family” — where my favorite feature is “Friday Food Writers.”

* No matter where you like to buy your books — from the Amazon to the Indies — here you’ll find an appropriate link for purchasing The Happiness Project. Buy early and often!
