I'm sure the yetzer hora has many attractive wares to offer me. I know that the aveiros must be very, very enjoyable... 
...but really, who has the time?! - Reb Menachem Mendel of Kotzk
The Kotzker is teaching us a very important lesson in his inimitable fashion: If one's service of God is truly pleasurable, he will constantly look for opportunities to engage in Torah, mitzvot, and prayer. Once one is pursuing these positive pleasures, he will become more engrossed in it until he simply has no time to spare for the Evil Inclination...
