Beyond those regions of action with which
birth & education & social position have presented to the individual, he has the
power of directing in his pursuits & occupations with a view
to the general happiness of life. No man is without some
moments of leisure which may be employed in the pursuit search
of pleasure, or in other words in the practice of that virtue which
is the parent of pleasure, – & no occupation is there which
does not create or allow occasions for those thoughts –
thoughts from recollection – or of anticipation – which are
in themselves happiness. No man who has the gift of
language can in the presence of others pass a single hour
without the opportunity being afforded him of communicating
enjoyment. One principal reason why our existence has so
much less of happiness crowded into it than is accessible to us to us
is, that we neglect to gather up those minute particles of
pleasure – which every moment offers to our acceptance.
In struggling striving after an amo a sum total we forget the
cyphers of which it is composed. Struggling against
those inevitable results which we he cannot control, too often
man is heedless of those accessible pleasures whose amount
is by no means inconsiderable when collected together.
Stretching his hand out to catch the stars, he forgets the
flowers at his feet, – so beautiful, – so fragrant – so
various – so multitudinous –
