Pleasure is the one thing for which millions live. They differ, perhaps, in their views of what makes up real pleasure, but all agree in seeking first and foremost to obtain it. Pleasure and enjoyment in the holidays is the grand object to which a schoolboy looks forward. Pleasure and satisfaction in making himself independent is the mark on which the young man ill business fixes his eye. Pleasure and ease in retiring from business with a fortune is the aim which the merchant sets before him. Pleasure and bodily comfort at his own homo is the sum of the poor man's wishes. Pleasure and fresh excitement in politics, in travelling, in amusements, in company, in books — this is the goal towards which the rich man is straining. Pleasure is the shadow which all alike are hunting — high and low, rich and poor, old and young, one with another — each, perhaps, pretending to despise his neighbour for seeking it — each in his own way seeking it for himself — each secretly wondering that he does not find it — each firmly persuaded that somewhere or other it is to be found.

(Bp. Ryle.)
