Quote by Holbrook Jackson

Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.

Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it,

Summary

This quote implies that happiness is not something that can be actively pursued or found by constantly seeking it. Instead, by spending too much time and energy trying to find happiness, we may inadvertently miss out on truly experiencing it. Additionally, engaging in endless discussions about happiness may distract us from actually embracing and living a happy life. True happiness comes from within and is best found by simply being present and content with the present moment.

O, how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ

O, how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the soul! The intellect of man sits enthroned visibly upon his forehead and in his eye; and the heart of man is written upon his countenance. But the soul reveals itself in the voice only; as God revealed himself to the prophet of old in the still, small voice; and in a voice from the burning bush. The soul of man is audible, not visible. A sound alone betrays the flowing of the eternal fountain, invisible to man!
