“Almost all men, and those that seem to be very miserable, love life, because they cannot bear to lose sight of such a beautiful and lovely world. The ideas, that every moment whilst we live have a beauty that we take not distinct notice of, brings a pleasure that, when we come to the trial, we had rather live in much pain and misery than lose.” MenWorldIdeasMomentsSeemsPainBeautifulLosesPleasureBearsSightMiseryLovelyTrialsMiserableLove Life Author:Jonathan Edwards
