The rub is that ordsprog

The rub is that the pursuit of happiness, as an end in itself, tends automatically, and widely, to be replaced by the pursuit of pleasure with a consequent general softening of the fibers of will, intelligence, spirit.

Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990)

There is no calling in life nobler than to serve the people of one's nation in pursuit of the Jeffersonian ideal of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I, for one, feel privileged every day, every single day to be able to serve the people of the Philippines and to be associated with democrats like you from all over the world.

The pursuit of beauty is much more dangerous nonsense than the pursuit of truth or goodness, because it affords a stronger temptation to the ego.

Northrop Frye (1912-1991)

The pursuit of beauty is much more dangerous nonsense than the pursuit of truth or goodness, because it affords a stronger temptation to the ego.

Northrop Frye (1912-1991)

The pursuit of excellence is less profitable than the pursuit of bigness, but it can be more satisfying.

Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.
