Examples of pleasures in a Sentence
None has more frequent conversations with a disagreeable self than the man of pleasure; his enthusiasms are but few and transient; his appetites, like angry creditors, are continually making fruitless demands for what he is unable to pay; and the greater his former pleasures, the more strong his regret, the more impatient his expectations. A life of pleasure is, therefore, the most unpleasing life.
One should be just as careful in choosing one's pleasures as in avoiding calamities.
I sometimes wander whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.
We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer tasting them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.
Charles Caleb Colton, Lacon, 1825:
To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.
