We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier.
We cannot be contented because we are happy, and we cannot be happy because we are contented.
Happiness, like air and water, the other two great requisites of life, is composite. One kind of it suits one man, another kind another. The elevated mind takes in and breathes out again that which would be uncongenial to the baser; and the baser draws life and enjoyment from that which would be putridity to the loftier.
Goodness does not more certainly make men happy than happiness makes them good.
