1 I, II | put into man a desire of happiness and an aversion to misery: 2 I, II | Christian, who has the view of happiness and misery in another life, 3 I, II | to the different sorts of happiness they have a prospect of, 4 I, II | joined virtue and public happiness together, and made the practice 5 I, II | enemy of their peace and happiness. Whatever practical principle 6 II, I | or pain, or be capable of happiness or misery? I am sure the 7 II, I | or concernment for that happiness or misery of his soul, which 8 II, I | more than he has for the happiness or misery of a man in the 9 II, I | perception, even perception of happiness or misery, without the body. 10 II, VII | satisfaction, delight, pleasure, happiness, &c., on the one side, or 11 II, VII | dissatisfaction, and want of complete happiness, in all the enjoyments which 12 II, XX | love, to beings capable of happiness or misery, is often the 13 II, XX | consideration of their very being or happiness. Thus the being and welfare 14 II, XXI | uneasiness is the first step to happiness. If we inquire into the 15 II, XXI | the will, in order to that happiness which we all aim at in all 16 II, XXI | to be inconsistent with happiness, spoiling the relish even 17 II, XXI | and necessary step towards happiness.~37. Because uneasiness 18 II, XXI | content to take up with their happiness here? And so the prevailing 19 II, XXI | For we constantly desire happiness; and whatever we feel of 20 II, XXI | it is certain we want of happiness; even in our own opinion, 21 II, XXI | further.~42. All desire happiness. If it be further asked,— 22 II, XXI | moves desire? I answer,—happiness, and that alone. Happiness 23 II, XXI | happiness, and that alone. Happiness and misery are the names 24 II, XXI | modifications of motion.~43. Happiness and misery, good and evil, 25 II, XXI | and evil, what they are. Happiness, then, in its full extent, 26 II, XXI | degree of what can be called happiness is so much ease from all 27 II, XXI | us, wherein consists our happiness and misery. Further, though 28 II, XXI | a necessary part of his happiness. All other good, however 29 II, XXI | it to make a part of that happiness wherewith he, in his present 30 II, XXI | thoughts, can satisfy himself. Happiness, under this view, every 31 II, XXI | s delight a part of his happiness, their desires are not moved, 32 II, XXI | and constant in pursuit of happiness, yet they may have a clear 33 II, XXI | think they can make up their happiness without it. Though as to 34 II, XXI | judged necessary to their happiness, as soon as any good appears 35 II, XXI | part of their portion of happiness, they begin to desire it.~ 36 II, XXI | evident from the nature of our happiness and misery itself. All present 37 II, XXI | necessary part of our present happiness, nor the absence of it make 38 II, XXI | being infinite degrees of happiness which are not in our possession. 39 II, XXI | ordinary enjoyments, make up a happiness wherein they can be satisfied. 40 II, XXI | there are not many whose happiness reaches so far as to afford 41 II, XXI | perfect, secure, and lasting happiness in a future state, and under 42 II, XXI | whilst they bound their happiness within some little enjoyment 43 II, XXI | thing to be done in order to happiness,—absent good, though thought 44 II, XXI | in our endeavours after happiness being to get wholly out 45 II, XXI | and our endeavours after happiness; whilst we precipitate the 46 II, XXI | to do, in pursuit of our happiness; and it is not a fault, 47 II, XXI | above us, who enjoy perfect happiness, we shall have reason to 48 II, XXI | determination to a pursuit of happiness no abridgment of liberty. 49 II, XXI | The constant desire of happiness, and the constraint it puts 50 II, XXI | infinite perfection and happiness. That, in this state of 51 II, XXI | necessity of pursuing true happiness the foundation of liberty. 52 II, XXI | pursuit of true and solid happiness; so the care of ourselves, 53 II, XXI | mistake not imaginary for real happiness, is the necessary foundation 54 II, XXI | an unalterable pursuit of happiness in general, which is our 55 II, XXI | inconsistent with, our real happiness: and therefore, till we 56 II, XXI | preferring and pursuing true happiness as our greatest good, obliged 57 II, XXI | tendency of their nature to happiness is an obligation and motive 58 II, XXI | interfere with our true happiness, and mislead us from it. 59 II, XXI | direction of our conduct to true happiness depends; it is in this we 60 II, XXI | that, though all men desire happiness, yet their wills carry them 61 II, XXI | every one does not place his happiness in the same thing, or choose 62 II, XXI | these did not aim at his own happiness; but because their happiness 63 II, XXI | happiness; but because their happiness was placed in different 64 II, XXI | naught.~56. All men seek happiness, but not of the same sort. 65 II, XXI | yet some men place their happiness in) as you would to satisfy 66 II, XXI | variety; so the greatest happiness consists in the having those 67 II, XXI | that they should seek their happiness by avoiding all things that 68 II, XXI | all men’s desires tend to happiness, yet they are not moved 69 II, XXI | is become a part of his happiness, it raises desire, and that 70 II, XXI | really and truly make for his happiness, misleads him, the miscarriages 71 II, XXI | and take care of his own happiness, and look that he were not 72 II, XXI | different things, and pursue happiness by contrary courses. But 73 II, XXI | in earnest in matters of happiness and misery, the question 74 II, XXI | before they judged to lead to happiness; every one not endeavouring, 75 II, XXI | actions which lead to future happiness. A neighbouring country 76 II, XXI | misled. For, as to present happiness and misery, when that alone 77 II, XXI | actions carry not all the happiness and misery that depend on 78 II, XXI | making or increase of our happiness. It is our opinion of such 79 II, XXI | sufficing for our present happiness, we desire not to venture 80 II, XXI | uneasiness comes in, this happiness is disturbed, and we are 81 II, XXI | on work in the pursuit of happiness.~62. From a wrong judgment 82 II, XXI | necessary part of their happiness. Their aptness therefore 83 II, XXI | religion are necessary to his happiness; let him look into the future 84 II, XXI | different state of perfect happiness or misery that attends all 85 II, XXI | proportion to the endless happiness or exquisite misery of an 86 II, XXI | secure that perfect durable happiness hereafter.~63. A more particular 87 II, XXI | do all in earnest pursue happiness, we must consider how things 88 II, XXI | intelligent being really seeks happiness, which consists in the enjoyment 89 II, XXI | and the completing of his happiness, but only by a wrong judgment. 90 II, XXI | or the true degrees of happiness or misery: the future loses 91 II, XXI | any the least degree of happiness. Men’s daily complaints 92 II, XXI | necessary condition to our happiness; let what will follow. Nothing, 93 II, XXI | judging, when applied to the happiness of another life, they must 94 II, XXI | intended for a state of happiness, it must certainly be agreeable 95 II, XXI | what is necessary to our happiness. All men desire happiness, 96 II, XXI | happiness. All men desire happiness, that is past doubt: but, 97 II, XXI | them uneasy, disturbs that happiness, and shows them that they 98 II, XXI | judged to be necessary to our happiness: if we think we can be happy 99 II, XXI | to be necessary to their happiness which really is so. This 100 II, XXI | man misses his great end, happiness, he will acknowledge he 101 II, XXI | themselves unhappy in order to happiness, that they do not easily 102 II, XXI | conduct of men towards their happiness, neglected to a degree, 103 II, XXI | necessary or conducive to our happiness. This every one must confess 104 II, XXI | confess he can do; and when happiness is lost, and misery overtakes 105 II, XXI | men out of their way to happiness, and distract them, as we 106 II, XXI | seriously upon infinite happiness and misery, must needs condemn 107 II, XXI | allow exquisite and endless happiness to be but the possible consequence 108 II, XXI | here. But when infinite happiness is put into one scale, against 109 II, XXI | nothing against infinite happiness to be got, if his expectation 110 II, XXI | a necessary part of our happiness: but every good, nay, every 111 II, XXI | taken to make, part of our happiness. For all that we desire, 112 II, XXI | though this general desire of happiness operates constantly and 113 II, XXI | makes a part of our real happiness, or be consistent or inconsistent 114 II, XXIII | and power; of pleasure and happiness; and of several other qualities 115 II, XXIII | existence, knowledge, power, happiness, &c., infinite and eternal: 116 II, XXIII | knowledge, power, duration, happiness, &c. For that in our ideas, 117 II, XXIII | perfecter knowledge and greater happiness than we, must needs have 118 II, XXVII | God; who, as far as the happiness or misery of any of his 119 II, XXVII | pleasure and pain, capable of happiness or misery, and so is concerned 120 II, XXVII | of reward and punishment; happiness and misery being that for 121 II, XXVII | intelligent being, sensible of happiness or misery, must grant—that 122 II, XXVII | agents, capable of a law, and happiness, and misery. This personality 123 II, XXVII | founded in a concern for happiness, the unavoidable concomitant 124 II, XXVIII| are like to procure them happiness or misery from the hands 125 II, XXVIII| anything that may advance his happiness, and terminates at last, 126 IV, II | certainty is as great as our happiness or misery, beyond which 127 IV, III | guess at some part of the happiness of superior ranks of spirits, 128 IV, X | great concernment of our happiness. But, though this be the 129 IV, X | for me enjoy his beloved happiness of being nothing, until 130 IV, XI | our pleasure or pain, i.e. happiness or misery; beyond which 131 IV, XII | in Aristippus, who placed happiness in bodily pleasure; and 132 IV, XX | to conduct them to their happiness or misery? Are the current 133 IV, XX | on; nay, his everlasting happiness or misery? Or can those 134 IV, XXI | attainment of any end, especially happiness: or, Thirdly, the ways and 135 IV, XXI | human actions, which lead to happiness, and the means to practise 136 IV, XXI | depend on us, in order to happiness; and the right use of signs
