“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”
— Nathaniel Hawthorne
Simplified Meaning:
If you chase after happiness, you may never catch it. But if you stay calm and still, happiness might come to you on its own.
