3953 Nathaniel Cotton 1707-1788 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:3953
AUTHOR:Nathaniel Cotton (1707–1788)
QUOTATION:If solid happiness we prize,
Within our breast this jewel lies,
  And they are fools who roam.
The world has nothing to bestow;
From our own selves our joys must flow,
  And that dear hut, our home.
