Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The Greeks said grandly in their tragic phrase, 'Let no one be called happy till his death' to which I would add, 'Let no one, till his death, be called unhappy.'
Summary

The addition to the quote emphasizes the idea of not labeling someone as permanently unhappy before their death, as life is unpredictable and circumstances could improve. Overall, the quote advocates for withholding judgment on someone's happiness or unhappiness until their entire life story is known.
