Those only are happy ... who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own happiness; on the happiness of others, on the improvement of mankind, even on some art or pursuit ... Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so. - John Stuart Mill, Autobiography

The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it. - Karl Marx, Theses on Feuerbach

Who can decide offhand which is absolutely better to live or to understand life? We must do both alternately, and a man can no more limit himself to either than a pair of scissors can cut with single one of its blades. - William James, Some Problems of Philosophy
