By heaven we understand a state of happiness infinite in degree, and endless in duration. Benjamin Franklin
Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is vanity, and power a pageant; but knowledge is ecstatic in enjoyment, perennial in frame, unlimited in space and indefinite in duration. DeWitt Clinton
Wit and Humor -- if any difference, it is in duration -- lightning and electric light. Same material, apparently but one is vivid, and can do damage -- the other fools along and enjoys elaboration. Mark Twain
