“Chi sa pascersi delle piccole felicità, raccogliere nell’animo suo i piccoli piaceri che ha provato nella giornata, dar peso pressose medesimo alle piccole fortune, facilmente passa la vita, e se non è felice, può crederlo, e non accorgersi del contrario.“
Giacomo Leopardi, poeta e filosofo italiano, Zib., 303, 6 novembre 1820 “He who knows how to nourish his own happiness, that gathers in his heart the small pleasures that he feels throughout the day, and who knows how to give meaning to his small adventures, easily traverses existence; if he is not happy, he can believe that he is, without realizing that he is nothing.“
Giacomo Leopardi, Italian poet and philosopher, November 6, 1820 “Celui qui sait se nourrir de petits bonheurs, qui recueille dans son cœur les petits plaisirs qu’il a éprouvés durant la journée et qui sait donner du poids à ses petites aventures, traverse facilement l’existence, et s’il n’est pas heureux, il peut croire qu’il l’est sans s’apercevoir qu’il n’en est rien."
