Pleasure

I am always easy of belief when the creed pleases me

Bang-whang-whang goes the drum, tootle-tetootle the fife; no keeping one's haunches still: it's the greatest pleasure in life

The pleasure of criticizing takes away from us the pleasure of being moved by some very fine things

How can one take delight in the world unless one flees to it for refuge?

A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.

For thy sake, tobacco, I would do anything but die

The love of life, then, is an habitual attachment, not an abstract principle.

The sweetest pleasure arises from difficulties overcome.

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work

Some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go

What delights us in visible beauty is the invisible

His own especial pleasure attracts each one

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

Satiety is a neighbor to continued pleasures

Forbidden pleasures alone are loved immoderately; when lawful, they do not excite desire

A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother

With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come

Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures

The greatest pleasure I know is to do something by stealth and have it found out by accident

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
