词汇	pursuit of happiness
词源	pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence (1776) famously holds that all men are entitled to the “pursuit of happiness,” but this stirring phrase wasn’t coined by the dec- laration’s principal author, Thomas Jefferson. British philoso- pher John Locke coined the words nearly a century earlier in a treatise on government, and the phrase has been used fre- quently since.
