Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Bernard Mandeville said
happiness What makes a life go well: whether it is meaning, love, virtue, enough money, or simply expecting less.
If what has been said in this remark be duly weighed, we shall find either, that laziness and content are very near a-kin, or, if there be a great difference between them, that the latter is more contrary to industry than the former.
Where this was said
↗The Fable of the Bees; or, Private Vices, Public Benefits (1714; 1806 edition)gutenberg.org
