“Quote of the Day By Someone Who’s Smarter Than I Am, But Who Has, On Occasion, Been Known To Think Along the Same Lines”

William James Quotation Number Three:

I don’t sing because I’m happy; I’m happy because I sing.

(My version: I was walking down the street, singing. A passerby said, “You must be happy.” replied, “If I were happy, I wouldn’t have to sing.” Okay, mine’s more depressing, but you can see the similarity.)
