About This Quote
Happiness is the rarest thing in the world. It is so very, very difficult to find. So, when we do find it, we should be very careful what we wish for. Once you have it, you can’t just take it back.
Once you’ve experienced happiness, it isn’t the same anymore. You realize that happiness is like a fleeting bird; once you catch it, you can’t return to your old life. So be careful what you wish for; once you get it, don’t get too comfortable.
