Quote by Walter Savage Landor

Goodness does not more certainly make men happy than happiness makes them good.

Goodness does not more certainly make men happy than happine

Summary

This quote suggests that goodness in itself does not guarantee happiness, just as happiness does not necessarily make someone inherently good. It implies that while being good may contribute to happiness, it doesn't always result in it. Similarly, experiencing happiness doesn't automatically make someone morally upright. The quote highlights the complexity of the relationship between goodness and happiness, implying that they are not always directly proportional or interdependent.

It's a miracle was the last track recorded for the album, we based it on the rhythm from the middle of 'Late Home Tonight, where there's Graham Broad playing lots and lots of drums with me shouting in the background, pretending to be a mad Arab leader.

Offered a job as book critic for magazine as a young man, Bellow had been interviewed by Chambers and asked to give his opinion about William Wordsworth. Replying perhaps too quickly that Wordsworth had been a Romantic poet, he had been brusquely informed by Chambers that there was no place for him at the magazine. Bellow had often wondered, he told us, what he ought to have said. I suggested that he might have got the job if he'd replied that Wordsworth was a once-revolutionary poet who later became a conservative and was denounced by Browning and others as a turncoat. This seemed to Bellow to be probably right. More interesting was the related question: What if he'd that job?
