Happiness

HAPPINESS.—Happiness is like sleep; it comes of itself to the healthy soul—it cannot be found by seeking. If you seek happiness as an end, you will not find it. It is not given as the reward of earnest searching; it comes as naturally to him who lives for duty as sleep comes to the eyelids of the healthy laborer after the honest toils of the day. Happiness will come and dwell in the soul that invites it. It is vain to seek it—it flies from the approach of the pursuer, while it nestles in the bosom of him who lives for God.
