Human happiness, according to the most received notions, seems to consist of three ingredients, action, pleasure and indolence. And though these in- gredients ought to be mixed in differ ent proportions, according to the par ticular disposition of the person, yet no one ingredient can be entirely wanting without destroying in some measure the relish of the whole composition.
