“Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE
I just love the visual language that is used in this quote!

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. ~ William James
BEAUTIFUL and LOVELY quote! Isn’t this so true?
I’m a quote collector and I am putting this one in my BOOK o quotes.
THANKS for sharing.
Great quote…
Although, I do think you can choose to be happy through anything. So when life sucks as it sometimes does – you can choose to be down in the dumps or you can choose to look at the good things and be happy (or at least satisfied)!
But, then, I guess that means you are choosing to let the butterfly alight upon you!
Beautiful quote. I could also see it happening in front of my eyes. Hi from a fellow kiwi Mum
