"Felicity, the companion of content, is rather found in our own breasts than in the enjoyment of external things; and I firmly believe it requires but a little philosophy to make a man happy in whatever state he is"
- Daniel Boone
About this Quote
This quote by Daniel Boone speaks with the concept that true contentment and joy comes from within. He recommends that it does not require much effort to be pleased, no matter one's external situations. He thinks that felicity, or satisfaction, is discovered within our own hearts and minds, which it is not based on the pleasure of external things. This is an important tip that our joy is not determined by our material possessions or our external environment, however rather by our own internal state of being. Boone's words suggest that it is possible to be content and happy, no matter what life throws our way, if we take the time to cultivate a favorable attitude and outlook.
