Excerpt from The Noblest Quest: And Other Sermons Preached in the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Cleveland, OWe have learned that, when we have busied our selves to possess some things which we very much coveted, we lacked the ability to enjoy them. You will remember that Sancho Panza was very anxious to govern a little island Of his own. When it at last came into his possession, he did not know what to do with it. This is but a comic portrayal of the experience of many people more practical than poor old Sancho. Pleasure is a thing for which most of the world is in hot pursuit; yet it is such a deli cate thing that it is Often missed by the very way people attempt to grasp it. It is well known that the least happy people in the world are often those who make a profession Of seeking pleasure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
