Happiness is always a by-product. It never comes to those who concentrate on securing it… It always comes as a result of something else. The pursuit of noble things, the things essentially worth while… As a man goes on life’s journey, with a brave heart, doing the best he can… he often hears the faint flutter of invisible wings, he feels a presence, a companion. It is Happiness. ~Chicago Herald, c. 1917

Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness. ~Robertson Davies (1913–1995)
