#Pleasure

"The Seven Social Sins are: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle.From a sermon given by Frederick Lewis Donaldson in Westminster Abbey, London, on March 20, 1925."

"The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals, Utility, or the Greatest-Happiness Principle, holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure, and the absence of pain; by unhappiness, pain, and the privation of pleasure."

"So sweet and delicious do I become,when I am in bed with a manwho, I sense, loves and enjoys me,that the pleasure I bring excels all delight,so the knot of love, however tightit seemed before, is tied tighter still."

"Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret."

"Face your life, its pain, its pleasure, leave no path untaken."

"The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure."

"The most total opposite of pleasure is not pain but boredom, for we are willing to risk pain to make a boring life interesting."

"My God, a moment of bliss. Why, isn't that enough for a whole lifetime?"

"Success, if I simply gave it to you, you wouldn’t have the pleasure of taking it."

"The world looks like something God had just imaged for his own pleasure, doesn't it?"

"And he, like many jaded people, had few pleasures left in life save good food and drink."

"In the midst of happiness or despairin sorrow or in joyin pleasure or in pain:Do what is right and you will be at peace."

"Ask him why there are hypocrites in the world.''Because it is hard to bear the happiness of others.''When are we happy?''When we desire nothing and realize that possession is only momentary, and so are forever playing.''What is regret?''To realize that one has spent one's life worrying about the future.''What is sorrow?''To long for the past.''What is the highest pleasure?''To hear a good story."

"...when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure."

"Here at last is her smile: burn it into your memory; you won't see it often."

"Nothing is my guiltiest pleasure. I love it. I love doing it. I love planning to do it, I love loafing and pottering and chilling and daydreaming."

"To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life."

"I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it."
