Love affairs are for emotional sprinters the pleasures of love are for the emotional marathoners.
Robertson Davies
Image
Business is really more agreeable than pleasure it interests the whole mind, the aggregate nature of man more continuously, and more deeply. But it does not look as if it did.
Walter Bagehot
Image
Pleasure, that immortal essence, the beauteous bead sparkling in the cup, effervesces soon and subsides.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Image
We must turn away from work that replaces experience and pleasure with explanation.
Walter Darby Bannard
Image
It matters little if something is 'craft' or 'art.' The question is only this: does it give me pleasure?
Walter Darby Bannard

Meditation is a journey to know yourself. Knowing yourself has many layers. Start knowing your bodily discomforts. Know your success, know your failures. Know your fears. Know your irritations. Know your pleasures, joy and happiness. Know your mental wounds. Go deeper and examine every feeling you have.

Gardening is peaceful, yet there is a great element of failure. It's the perfect metaphor for life -- a lot of pleasure, then it's over. There's great satisfaction in tending something, feeling it needs you, even if it's just a plant on your windowsill.
Jane Kaczmarek

Walter Hill
Image

Tranquil pleasures last the longest we are not fitted to bear the burden of great joys.
Christian Nestell Bovee

Not one man has ever sacrificed for his Lord without being richly repaid. If the cross is only contrasted with earthly pleasures lost, it may seem hard and threatening. But when the cross is weighed in the balances with the glorious treasures to be had through it, even the cross seems sweet.
Walter J Chantry
Image
Beauty, pleasure, and the good things of life are intensified, and perhaps only exist, by reason of contrast.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
I fear that he who walks over these fields a century hence will not know the pleasure of knocking off wild apples. Ah, poor man, there are many pleasures which he will not know!
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Along the road of life are many pleasure resorts, but think not that by tarrying in them you will take more days to the journey. The day of your arrival is already recorded.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
pleasure, n. The least hateful form of dejection.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Spangling the wave with lights as vain As pleasures in the vale of pain, That dazzle as they fade.
Walter Scott
Image
School made us 'literate' but did not teach us to read for pleasure.
Ambeth R. Ocampo
Image
If we open up to our vitality and to the sense of urgency that flows within us ... we will have the pleasure of experiencing ourselves living and working in cooperation with the deepest forces of life.
Rick Jarow
Image
If the knowledge of torture of others makes you sick, it is a case of sympathy... It can be argued that behaviour based on sympathy is in an important sense egoistic, for one is oneself pleased at others' pleasure and pained at others' pain, and the pursuit of one's own utility may thus be helped by sympathetic action.
Amartya Sen
Image
The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect. You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd.
Warren Buffett
Image
In Science the paramount appeal is to the Intellect-its purpose being instruction in Art, the paramount appeal is to the Emotions-its purpose being pleasure.

Image
..there is more to life than just pleasure. We want to achieve our happiness and not just experience it.
Eric Weiner
Image
He who wishes to find Jesus should seek Him, not in the delights and pleasures of the world, but in mortification of the senses.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness.
Alphonsus Liguori
