“Find here what each desires: men's pleasure goes - Strange ways: one pulls a thorn and one a rose”
Petronius
“The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
Oscar Wilde
“Pleasure for one hour, a bottle of wine. Pleasure for one year a marriage; but pleasure for a lifetime, a garden.”
Chinese Proverbs
“Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.”
Aristotle
“An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young”
“The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.”
Anthony Robbins
