Happiness Quote by Angus Stewart
![“It must be wonderful to have your way carved out for you. [...] To have a pathway ready hewed through the mountains, and follow it happily masticating in your nosebag - blinkers on the trail. And all the awesome pomp. The sweet-smelly smoke, and those nose-picking plebeian acolytes toddling round…” quote by Angus Stewart](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2a6/angus-stewart-110569_happiness_it-must-be-wonderful-to-have-your-way-ca_3179524.jpg)
““It must be wonderful to have your way carved out for you. [...] To have a pathway ready hewed through the mountains, and follow it happily masticating in your nosebag - blinkers on the trail. And all the awesome pomp. The sweet-smelly smoke, and those nose-picking plebeian acolytes toddling round with watering-cans tinkling little bells.
