You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy.

We feel free when we escape - even if it be but from the frying pan into the fire.

The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.

It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action, while the distant hope acts as an opiate.

The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.

Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.

Eric Hoffer (July 25, 1902 – May 21, 1983) was an American social writer and philosopher. He produced ten books and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in February 1983 by President Ronald Reagan. His first book, The True Believer, published in 1951, was widely recognized as a classic, receiving critical acclaim from both scholars and laymen, although Hoffer believed that his book The Ordeal of Change was his finest work.
