Quote of the day by Robert Frost: 'Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.' Pulitzer Prize-winning poet on true meaning of happiness

Robert Frosts quote, Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length, from A Witness Tree, highlights the powerful impact of brief moments of joy.
