You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down

Charlie Chaplin
About This Quote

The idea that if you're looking down, you won't find a rainbow is a common saying used to describe the difficulty of finding something when you're not looking for it. However, there is also an underlying meaning that if you're not looking, then it's impossible to find because the rainbow will never be seen. The idea of "not looking" is brought up by this quote because if you're not looking, then the rainbow will be invisible. But, if you are looking for it, then you can see it.
