POINTS TO PONDER CXVII

If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy. But we want to be happier than other people. And that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are.

Montesquieu

Consider the expressions,

 

As easy as shooting fish in a barrel 

As easy as taking candy from a baby 

 

Off hand, I can't think of two more difficult things.
