The Care of Happiness

HAPPINESS is a shy plant. For the one who nurses and watches it, devotes time and thought to its culture, and who tries to remove all hindrances from the soil, and shelter it from every rough wind, it never reaches anything but a puny and uncertain development. But he who is too busy with other things to bestow much attention upon it; whose heart and hands are too full of weightier matters to heed its vagaries, will usually be rewarded with a hardy and plentiful growth. There is nothing better than a little wholesome letting alone in the matter of watering and petting so far as one's own happiness is concerned. It will not live under a glass.—Selected.
