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.
