Pleasure
In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures.
- Cicero
When the idea of any pleasure strikes your imagination, make a just computation between the duration of the pleasure and that of the repentance that is likely to follow it.
- Epictetus
An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with material senses. Such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.
- Gita, Bhagavad
To hide her cares her only art; her pleasure, pleasures to impart.
- Gray, Thomas
Men may scoff, and men may pray, but they pay every pleasure with a pain.
- Henley, William E.
Men seldom give pleasure where they are not pleased themselves.
- Johnson, Samuel
We have not an hour of life in which our pleasures relish not some pain, our sours, some sweetness.
- Massinger, Philip
Pleasure is the bait of sin.
- Plato
Simple pleasures are the last refuge of the complex.
- Wilde, Oscar
