Shak.
To congratulate one's self, to rejoice; to feel satisfaction; to consider one's self happy or fortunate.
Syn. -- To Congratulate, Felicitate. To felicitate is simply to wish a person joy. To congratulate has the additional signification of uniting in the joy of him whom we congratulate. Hence they are by no means synonymous.

Felicitations are little better than compliments; congratulations are the expression of a genuine sympathy and joy.
