Quote by Walter Savage Landor

We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier.

We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier.

Summary

This quote suggests that our pursuit of happiness often prevents us from truly experiencing it. It implies that the more we desire to be happier, the less content we become with our current state of happiness. It highlights the human tendency to constantly search for more or better, creating a perpetual dissatisfaction. By longing for greater happiness, we overlook the joy and satisfaction that may already exist in our lives. The quote challenges us to appreciate and find contentment in the present moment rather than constantly chasing elusive happiness.
