Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
More Quotes from William Butler Yeats:
And many a poor man that has roved Loved and thought himself beloved From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.William Butler Yeats
I see my life go drifting like a river From change to change I have been many things A green drop in the surge, a gleam of light Upon a sword, a fir tree on a hill, An old slave grinding at a heavy quern, A king sitting upon a chair of gold And all these things were wonderful and great But now I have grown nothing, knowing all. Ah Druid, Druid, how great webs of sorrow Lay hidden in that small slate-coloured thing.
William Butler Yeats
In life courtesy and self-possession, and in the arts style, are the sensible impressions of the free mind, for both arise out of a deliberate shaping of all things and from never being swept away, whatever the emotion into confusion or dullness.
William Butler Yeats
Accursed who brings to light of day the writings I have cast away.
William Butler Yeats
Hands, do what you're bid Bring the balloon of the mind That bellies and drags in the wind Into its narrow shed.
William Butler Yeats
Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.
