The happiest people I've ever met, regardless of their profession, their social standing, or their economic status, are people that are fully engaged in the world around them.

There is an air of cold, solitary desolation about the noiseless streets which we are accustomed to see thronged at other times by a busy, eager crowd, and over the quiet, closely-shut buildings, which throughout the day are swarming with life and bustle, that is very impressive.
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
