The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts, and multiply the griefs which he purposes to remove.

    सामग्री के फव्वारे को मन में बसाना चाहिए, और वह जो मानव प्रकृति का इतना कम ज्ञान रखता है कि कुछ भी बदलकर खुशी की तलाश कर सकता है, लेकिन उसका अपना स्वभाव फलहीन प्रयासों में अपना जीवन बर्बाद कर देगा, और उन दुखों को गुणा कर देगा जिन्हें वह दूर करना चाहता है।

    కంటెంట్ యొక్క ఫౌంటెన్ మనస్సులో పుట్టాలి, మరియు మానవ స్వభావం గురించి చాలా తక్కువ జ్ఞానం ఉన్న వ్యక్తి తన స్వభావాన్ని కాకుండా దేనినైనా మార్చడం ద్వారా ఆనందాన్ని కోరుకుంటాడు, ఫలించని ప్రయత్నాలలో తన జీవితాన్ని వృధా చేసుకుంటాడు మరియు అతను తొలగించడానికి ఉద్దేశించిన దుఃఖాన్ని పెంచుకుంటాడు.
