Happiness lies rather in the general foundation of the spirit and

Happiness lies more in the general foundation of the spirit and heart, which open themselves to happiness as they can preserve human nature, than in the number of specific happy moments in life. It lies rather in the ability to receive these happy moments. It does not lie in joy, but in the playfully easy ability to receive joy, in the justified hope of finding joy at any time, in the experience of feeling no general disgust at the things that establish the happiness of others.
