Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.

I have made the choices that work best for me. I know I cannot please everyone and that's fine.

Instead it appears to be a particular mark of beauty that it is considered with tranquil satisfaction that it pleases if we also do not possess it and we are still far removed from demanding to possess it.

Beauty like ice our footing does betray Who can tread sure on the smooth slippery way: Pleased with the surface we glide swiftly on And see the dangers that we cannot shun.

I'm just part of a tradition of people who aren't pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. I'd just think they're... sensible.

When you retire it's a place in life a part of the journey. You just don't quit work you develop an attitude where you can do what you please.

You call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is 'What's in it for me?'

Flirting is the gentle art of making a man feel pleased with himself.

The art of pleasing consists in being pleased.

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
