enjoyment

Few activities better the enjoyment of a hearty meal eaten in good company.

All acts suppose certain dispositions, and habits of mind and heart, which may be in themselves states of enjoyment or of wretchedness, and which must be fruitful in other consequences besides those particular acts.
