About This Quote

The main thing in life is happiness. Happiness is our birthright. It is a gift from God. He wants us to be happy, but only if we are careful about what we do with it.

The poem, "Is Bliss then, such Abyss, I must not put my foot amiss For fear I spoil my shoe? I'd rather suit my foot Than save my Boot" is a warning that happiness can be very dangerous and that we should spend our time wisely. We should not spend our time on things that bring us only pleasure and forget about important things like how we will pay our bills and save money for the future.
