Happiness

The true happiness is of retired
nature, and an enemy to pomp anc
noise; it arises, in the first place
from the enjoyment of ones self; and
in the next. from the friendship and
conversation of a few select compan-
ions; it loves shade and solitude, and
naturally haunts groves and foun-
tains, fields and meadows; in short
1t feels everything it wants within it.
self, and receives no addition from
the multitudes of witnesses and
spectators. On the contrary, false
happiness loves to be in a crowd, and
to draw the eyes of the world upon
her. She does not receive satisfac.
ton from the applauses which she
gives herself. but from the admira
ton which she raises in others. She
fourishes in courts and palaces. thea
ters and assemblies, and has no ex
istence but when she is looked upon
