"Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye"

- Austin O'Malley

About this Quote

In this quote, Austin O'Malley recommends that true joy can be discovered when one has a calm and tranquil perspective. The phrase "quiet eye" can be translated as a metaphor for a peaceful mind and a tranquil outlook on life. O'Malley implies that when we have the ability to quiet our minds and focus on the present minute, we are able to appreciate the charm and pleasure around us. This can lead to a sense of contentment and fulfillment, which can be viewed as the "harvest" of our efforts to keep a peaceful state of mind. Eventually, this quote reminds us that joy is not something we can go after or acquire, however rather something that can be cultivated within ourselves through a quiet and mindful technique to life.
