Happiness, True, Happiness consists in loving and being loved
Illustration★★★‘There is enough to love in the world; but to be loved we must deserve it, We may be admired for our beauty ‘or talent, courted for our influence or wealth, but we can only be loved as we are good. Therefore happiness consists in goodness.

The point
True happiness comes not from being admired for beauty or wealth, but from being loved for one's goodness.
