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

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in
gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

Such
happiness as life is capable of comes from the full
participation of all our powers in the endeavor to
wrest from each changing situations of experience
its own full and unique meaning.
