Pleasure


 All fits of pleasure are balanced by an equal degree of pain or languor; it is like spending this year part of the next year's revenues
  Jonathan Swift

 All kinds of beauty do not inspire love; there is a kind that only pleases the sight but does not captivate the affections.
  Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

 All pleasure in the world is a passing dream.
  Francesco Petrarch

 An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young
  Oscar Wilde

 As to the myth about Fat Girls and certain abilities to achieve multiple...ummm...my only comment on THAT topic, having both thin and fat and, also, coincidently a girl...is that it most likely has to do with genetics. And praise the Goddess Aphrodite and her son Eros that I know all about those good genetics.

 But few have spoken of the actual pleasure derived from giving to someone, from creating something, from finishing a task, from offering unexpected help almost invisibly and anonymously.

 For let me tell you, that the more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation
  Plato

 If we could all live solitary and without labor, we could all enjoy this ecstasy of independence; since we cannot, its delights are only available to madmen and dictators
  Bertrand Russell

 If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place to-day, it is vain to seek it there to-morrow. You can not lay a trap for it.
  Alexander Smith

 It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed
  Albert Einstein

 It is no less a proof of eminence to have many enemies than many friends
  Samuel Johnson

 It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first. The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self.
  Hugo Black

 It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
  John Steinbeck
