False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness
is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and
sensible, and that happiness is always shared.
Charles de Montesquieu
False happiness is like false money; it passes for a long time
as well as the true, and serves some ordinary occasions; but
when it is brought to the touch, we find the lightness and
alloy, and feel the loss.
Alexander Pope
