More From Maurice Maeterlinck
- "An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it."
- "Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness."
- "Many a happiness in life, as many a disaster, can be due to chance, but the peace within us can never be governed by chance."
