Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.

Summary

This quote suggests that happiness should not be the sole focus or ultimate end goal in life. Instead, it argues that happiness is a natural outcome or by-product of engaging in activities and pursuing goals that bring fulfillment, meaning, and purpose. Happiness should be seen as a result of living a life aligned with one's values and passions, rather than being treated as a separate objective to chase after. By focusing on personal growth, relationships, and pursuing what brings joy and fulfillment, happiness will naturally emerge as a by-product of a well-lived life.

Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps twenty players, and Tennessee Williams has about five, and Samuel Beckett one - and maybe a clone of that one. I have ten or so, and that's a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.

Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly, but they regard their honest politicians with silent suspicion. The first thing they do when they hear of a supposedly 'clean' politician is to grin. It is a cliche that honest politicians in India tend to have dishonest sons, who collect money from people seeking an audience with Dad.
