A Bit of Wisdom from Daniel Boone on His Birthday

“You see now how little nature requires, to be satisfied. Felicity, the companion of content, is rather found in our own breasts than in the enjoyment of external things, and I firmly believe it requires but a little philosophy to make a man happy in whatsoever state he is. This consists in a full resignation to the will of Providence, and a resigned soul finds pleasure in a path strewed with briers and thorns.” ~ Daniel Boone November 2, 1734 – September 26, 1820

“Daniel Boone, when asked if he ever got lost out in the wilderness, replied, “I can’t say I was ever lost, but I was once bewildered for about 3 days.” ~ Daniel Boone November 2, 1734 – September 26, 1820
