Sweet is the scene where genial friendship plays the pleasing game of interchanging praise.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

If it's very painful for you to criticize your friends - you're safe in doing it. But if you take the slightest pleasure in it that's the time to hold your tongue.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Yes we have the freedom to do what we please but it only works because we don't do everything we might please - we should exercise some degree of personal and corporate responsibility.

Pleasure and freedom from pain are the only things desirable as ends.

Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom when it comes not merely philosophically but almost with pleasure.

May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to do what is right.

Freedom is a man's natural power of doing what he pleases so far as he is not prevented by force or law.

I am very honored for all the distinctions and accolades but what I am most sensitive to is my clientele and the fact they are pleased with my food and my restaurants.
