The pleasures arising from a right understanding of the divine testimonies are of the most delightful order; earthly enjoyments are utterly contemptible if compared with them. The sweetest joys, yea, the sweetest of the sweetest falls to his portion who has God's truth to be his heritage.

Charles Spurgeon

The joys of theory are the sweetest intellectual pleasures of life

Ludwig Feuerbach

Love makes life's sweetest pleasures and worst misfortunes.

Madeleine de Scudery

I am a man without many pleasures in life, a man whose few pleasures are small, but a man whose small pleasures are very important to him. One of them is eating. One reading. Another reading while eating.

Amanda Filipacchi

The shortest pleasures are the sweetest.

George Farquhar

The fruit derived from labor is the sweetest of pleasures.

Luc de Clapiers

The sweetest pleasures are those which are hardest to be won.

Giacomo Casanova

Watching a ball game is one of the sweetest pleasures in the world.

Silvia Tennenbaum

The sweetest pleasures soonest cloy, And its best flavour temperance gives to joy.

Juvenal

Life consists not of a series of illustrious actions or elegant enjoyments. The greater part of our time passes in compliance with necessities, in the performance of daily duties, in the removal of small inconveniences, in the procurement of petty pleasures; and we are well or ill at ease, as the main stream of life glides on smoothly, or is ruffled by small obstacles and frequent interruption.

Samuel Johnson

This evolution towards a real responsibility for others is sometimes blocked by fear. It is easier to stay on the level of a pleasant way of life in which we keep our freedom and our distance. But that means that we stop growing and shut ourselves up in our own small concerns and pleasures.

Jean Vanier

As in all sweetest music, a tinge of sadness was in every note. Nor do we know how much of the pleasures even of life we owe to the intermingled sorrows. Joy cannot unfold the deepest truths, although deepest truth must be deepest joy.

George MacDonald

I find the love of garden grows upon me as I grow older more and more. Shrubs and flowers and such small gay things, that bloom and please and fade and wither and are gone and we care not for them, are refreshing interests, in life, and if we cannot say never fading pleasures, we may say unreproved pleasures and never grieving losses.

Maria Edgeworth

One of life's most over-valued pleasures is sexual intercourse; of one of life's least appreciated pleasures in defecation.

Mark Twain

Isn't the small and common the field we live our life in? The large comes into a life through small-paned windows. A breath is small, but everything depends on it. A person looks at you a single, brief moment longer than is necessary, and everything is changed. The smaller the clue, the larger the meaning, it sometimes feels.
