"It is not, perhaps, much thought about, but it is certainly a very important lesson, to learn how to enjoy ordinary life, and to be able to relish your being without the transport of some passion, or gratification of some appetite. For the lack of this capacity, the world is filled with whetters, tipplers, cutters, sippers, and all the numerous train of those who, for lack of thinking, are forced to be ever exercising their feeling, or tasting."   ---Steele.
