"Pleasure, in itself harmless, may become mischievous, by endearing to us a state which we know to be transient and probatory, and withdrawing our thoughts from that of which every hour brings us nearer to the beginning, and of which no length of time will bring us to the end.

In the state of future perfection, to which we all aspire, there will be pleasure without danger, and security without restraint."
