The Value of Happiness

By R. L. Stevenson

A HAPPY person is a better thing to find than a five-pound note. He is a radiating focus of good will, and his entrance into a room is as if another candle had been lighted. We need not care whether he can prove the forty-seventh proposition: he does a better thing,—he practically demonstrates the great theorem of the livableness of life. — R. L. Stevenson.
