Nor is trouble the exclusive lot of those who occupy the lower stations of life. There are the labours of the mind, as well as those of the body; and it is what affects the mind that strikes most directly at the seat of our peace. There are the harassing care and the drudgery of those who are engaged in extensive business; there is the intellectual struggle in those who would make great acquirements in knowledge—the weariness of the flesh in much study; there is the mental anxiety of all who aspire; there is the waking dream, and there is the sleepless night; there is the indescribable feeling of nervousness; there is the gloom of melancholy, and there is the eclipse of reason: all these ought to be considered as so many monitors reminding men that this is not their rest.

For the reference, see James Foote on troubles of the mind.
