About this Quote

This quote by Henry Fielding speaks with the idea that when we experience excellent joy, it is frequently not expressed outwardly. Instead, it is something that is felt internally and is kept within the heart. This is particularly true when the joy is an outcome of an unexpected modification of situations. In these moments, we might not be able to discover the words to reveal the pleasure we feel, and so it remains within us. This quote is a reminder that joy is not constantly revealed through words, however can be felt deeply within us. It is a tip to put in the time to value the pleasure we feel, even if we can not reveal it outwardly.
