The primary purpose of a liberal education is to make one's mind a pleasant place in which to spend one's leisure.

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there if it's received great I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received great I respect you for not.

Youth is in a grand flush like the hot days of ending summer and pleasant dreams thrall your spirit like the smoky atmosphere that bathes the landscape of an August day.

To all to each a fair good-night and pleasing dreams and slumbers light.

Take pleasure in your dreams relish your principles and drape your purest feelings on the heart of a precious lover.

A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams.

The human heart has hidden treasures In secret kept in silence sealed The thoughts the hopes the dreams the pleasures Whose charms were broken if revealed.

My dreams were all my own I accounted for them to nobody they were my refuge when annoyed - my dearest pleasure when free.

The first couple of days on the detox diet aren't pleasant.

I refuse to spend my life worrying about what I eat. There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward.

Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.

Sinful and forbidden pleasures are like poisoned bread they may satisfy appetite for the moment but there is death in them at the end.

Nothing endears so much a friend as sorrow for his death. The pleasure of his company has not so powerful an influence.

A tragedy need not have blood and death it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy.

It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.

If we have been pleased with life we should not be displeased with death since it comes from the hand of the same master.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

I have never killed a man but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy uncomfortable unpleasant thing.

When I realized I was having trouble reading I was too embarrassed to ask for help. Some teachers believed in me but I just wasn't focused on school - I was into the music and trying to please my dad.

I went and took golf lessons so Dad would let me play with him. I was just terrible... but I was able to have a wonderful time just walking around with Dad. I can see the real pleasure of that game.

I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.

It is impossible to please all the world and one's father.

This is what customers pay us for - to sweat all these details so it's easy and pleasant for them to use our computers. We're supposed to be really good at this. That doesn't mean we don't listen to customers but it's hard for them to tell you what they want when they've never seen anything remotely like it.
