The Source of Happiness

HAPPINESS is inborn. It is not an outward trait. It is generated in the soul. It is never bought and sold as an article of commerce. You may fill your house with all manner of beautiful and curious things, but you cannot lay in a stock of happiness in the same way. If you are happy, your happiness is that which you are able to make by the use of the mind itself. A fundamental condition of happiness in this world is activity, and that kind of activity which carries with it all the faculties.
