We are far too easily pleased – CS Lewis
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and seek and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot image what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
– CS Lewis –

Dying to Live – Lettie B. Cowman
You must die in order to live. You must refuse to consult your own ease and well-being. You must be crucified, not only in desires and habits which are sinful, but in many more which appear innocent and right.
