Famous quotes containing the words gross, national and/or happiness:

    “We are ashamed to seem evasive in the presence of a straightforward man, cowardly in the presence of a brave one, gross in the eyes of a refined one, and so on. We always imagine, and in imagining share, the judgments of the other mind.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “We love the indomitable bellicose patriotism that sets you apart; we love the national pride that guides your muscularly courageous race; we love the potent individualism that doesn’t prevent you from opening your arms to individualists of every land, whether libertarians or anarchists.”
    —Tommaso Marinetti (1876–1944)

    “Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
