Excerpt from Historical Illustrations of the Origin and Progress of the Passions, Vol. 2 of 2: And Their Influence on the Conduct of Mankind; With Some Subordinate Sketches of Human Nature and Human Life
The sublunary state of mankind is inseparable from trial and sorrow. If pleasures intermingle with life, if terms of health and vigour he assigned, and courage speed to successful enterprize, if sometimes cheerful and void of care, we be content and happy, - the flowers which strew the path conceal the thorns, the intervals of enjoyment are short and fleeting. Melancholy, sickness, pain, and disappointment, hover in their train.
