Your first duty is to be humane. Love childhood. Look with friendly eyes on its games, its pleasures, its amiable dispositions. Which of you does not sometimes look back regretfully on the age when laughter was ever on the lips and the heart free of care? Why steal from the little innocents the enjoyment of a time that passes all too quickly?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Image
'Tis the sharpness of our mind that gives the edge to our pains and pleasures.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
Fishing in a bucket. The total hopelessness of the activity was very soothing. It was the perfect sport. Without the emotional stresses of success and failure, she was entirely free to enjoy the pleasures of the moment... It was a good hobby, and cheap, and if more people did it more often
Hilary McKay

Live while you live, the epicure would say, And seize the pleasures of the present day Live while you live the sacred preacher cries, And give to God each moment as it flies. Lord, in my views let both united be I live to pleasure when I live to thee.
Philip Doddridge

I have terrible taste in things: music, movies, TV shows. I love all the guilty pleasures: Bravo, Real Housewives.
Grace Helbig

Travel is the most private of pleasures. There is no greater bore than the travel bore. We do not in the least want to hear what he has seen in Hong-Kong.
Vita Sackville-West
Image
I am come, young ladies, in a very moralizing strain, to observe that our pleasures of this world are always to be for, and that we often purchase them at a great disadvantage, giving readi-monied actual happiness for a draft on the future, that may not be honoured.
Jane Austen
Image
These flowers are like the pleasures of the world.
William Shakespeare
Image
Men ought to know that from the brain, and from the brain only, arise our pleasures, joy, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs, and tears.
Hippocrates
Image
One of my greatest pleasures is being on the farmland that's been in the family since 1833.
Jimmy Carter
Image
A boy, by the age of 3 years, senses that his destiny is to be a man, so he watches his father particularly-his interests, manner, speech, pleasures, his attitude toward work.
Benjamin Spock
Image
Oh! one hour with God infinitely exceeds all the pleasures and delights of this lower world.
David Brainerd
Image
Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways.
Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux
Image
Dinner alone is one of life's pleasures.
Laurie Colwin
Image
False pleasures come from without and are imperfect: happiness is internal and our own.
John Lubbock
Image
The pleasures of humility are really the most refined, inward, and exquisite delights in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Innocent and infinite are the pleasures of observation.
Henry James
Image
Reflect upon the defects of your character: thoroughly realize their evils and the transient pleasures they give you, and firmly will that you shall try your best not to yield to them the next time.
H. P. Blavatsky
Image
Come live with me, and be my love, And we will some new pleasures prove Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks.
John Donne
Image
Pain wastes the Body, Pleasures the Understanding.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Capitalism is an art form, an Apollonian fabrication to rival nature. It is hypocritical for feminists and intellectuals to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of capitalism while sneering at it. Everyone born into capitalism has incurred a debt to it. Give Caesar his due.
Camille Paglia
Image
Who loves a garden, still his Eden keeps, Perennial pleasures plants, and wholesome harvests reaps.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Image
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Dinner alone is one of life's pleasures. Certainly cooking for oneself reveals man at his weirdest. People lie when you ask them what they eat when they are alone. A salad, they tell you. But when you persist, they confess to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches deep fried and eaten with hot sauce, or spaghetti with butter and grape jam.
