"One is happy as a result of one's efforts, once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness –– simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self-denial to a point, love of work, and, above all, a clear conscience. Happiness is no vague dream, of that I now feel certain."
–– George Sand, pen name of Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, (1804-1876), French writer
