“I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.”
C.S. Lewis
“The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“Pleasure for one hour, a bottle of wine. Pleasure for one year a marriage; but pleasure for a lifetime, a garden.”
Chinese Proverbs
“God whispers in our pleasures, but shouts in our pain.”
“Pleasure may come from illusion, but happiness can come only of reality.”
Chamfort
“LIFE is a mosaic of pleasure and pain - grief is an interval between two moments of joy. Peace is the interlude between two wars. You have no rose without a thorn; the diligent picker will avoid the pricks and gather the flower. There is no bee without the sting; cleverness consists in gathering the honey nevertheless.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world”
