heart alone is the source of happiness

The affairs of the world are no more than so much trickery, and a man who toils for money or honor or whatever else in deference to the wishes of others, rather than because his own desires or needs lead him to do so, will always be a fool.

Ah, one thing is sure: the heart alone is the source of our happiness.
