"Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route"
- Charles Caleb Colton
About this Quote
This quote by Charles Caleb Colton talks to the idea that joy is the driving force in life, directing us through its many twists and turns. Happiness is the grand mistress of life, leading us through its mazes and meanderings, but no 2 people will take the same path. Everyone's journey is special and specific, and joy is the something that will always be there to direct us. Joy is the one constant in life, and it depends on us to take advantage of it. We should take the time to value the minutes of happiness and contentment that come our method, and use them to propel us forward. Happiness is the key to a satisfying life, and it is up to us to maximize it.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
