What constitutes a happy life?
\nEnough money to meet your needs
\nsteady work
\na comfortable fire
\na clear distance from law
\na minimum of city business
\na peaceful mind and a healthy body
\nsimple wisdom and firm friends
\nenjoyable dinners and plain living
\nnights free from care
\na virtuous wife who’s not a prude
\nenough sleep to make the darkness short
\ncontentment with the life you have,
\navoiding the sneer, the poisoned sigh:
\nno fear of death
\nand no desire to die.<\/p>\n
