Thomas Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes@thomas-hobbes Β· 1651

Felicity is a continual progress of the desire, from one object to another; the attaining of the former, being still but the way to the latter. The cause whereof is, that the object of man's desire, is not to enjoy once only, and for one instant of time; but to assure for ever, the way of his future desire.

β€” Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, Part I, Ch. 11 (1651)

17th Century
