Quote by Benjamin Franklin

The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.

The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happi

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that while the Constitution grants individuals the right to pursue happiness, it does not guarantee the attainment of happiness. In other words, people are responsible for actively seeking and achieving their own happiness, rather than expecting it to be handed to them. It emphasizes personal agency and the belief that individuals must take ownership of their own well-being and actively work towards it, rather than relying on external factors or institutions to provide happiness.
