To suppose sense in the world would be gross and unwarranted. But locomotive faculties are evident in all its parts.
GEORGE BERKELEY
Alciphron; or, The Minute Philosopher in Seven Dialogues
There is a restless endeavour in the mind of man after Happiness. This appetite is wrought into the original frame of our nature, and exerts itself in all parts of the creation that are endued with any degree of thought or sense. But, as the human mind is dignified by a more comprehensive faculty than can be found in the inferior animals, it is natural for men not only to have an eye each to his own happiness, but also to endeavour to promote that of others.
