"There are these four kinds of happiness to be enjoyed by a householder who enjoys sense pleasures from time to time and when occasion offers. What four? The happiness of ownership, the happiness of wealth, the happiness of freedom from debt and the happiness of blamelessness. And what is the happiness of ownership? Concerning this, a householder has wealth acquired by energetic striving, won by strength of arm and sweat of brow, justly and lawfully. When he thinks of this he feels happiness and satisfaction. And what is the happiness of wealth? Concerning this, a householder has wealth justly and lawfully acquired, and he does many good works with it. When he thinks of this he feels happiness and satisfaction. And what is the happiness of freedom from debt? Concerning this, a householder owes no debts large or small to anyone, and when he thinks of this he feels happiness and satisfaction. And what is the happiness of blamelessness? Concerning this, the noble disciple is blessed with blameless action of body, speech and mind, and when he thinks of this he feels happiness and satisfaction."Pattakamma, Aṅguttara Nikāya 4.61

"It is good from time to time to examine one’s own faults; it is good from time to time to examine another’s faults. It is good from time to time to examine one’s own attainments; it is good from time to time to examine another’s attainments."Devadattavipatti, Aṅguttara Nikāya 8.7
