Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

Summary

This quote suggests that the quality of happiness is more important than its duration. It implies that true happiness is not necessarily dependent on how long a positive experience lasts, but rather on how deeply or intensely it is felt. In other words, a brief moment of genuine happiness can have a significant impact and make up for the lack of a prolonged period of contentment. This quote encourages cherishing and appreciating the fleeting moments of joy as they can have a profound effect on our overall happiness.
