Quote by Douglas William Jerrold

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in stranger's gardens.

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picke

Summary

This quote suggests that genuine and lasting happiness is found within ourselves, within the warmth and comfort of our own homes and relationships. It emphasizes that looking for happiness outside of our own lives, by seeking validation or seeking material possessions, is ultimately unfulfilling. True contentment comes from cultivating a sense of gratitude, love, and happiness within our own personal spheres, rather than relying on external sources that may be fleeting or rely on the approval or possessions of others.
