I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed but fine up against a wall.

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.

For it pleased God after he had made all things by the word of his power to create man after his own image.

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.

I was a bit worried coming back to the Premiership from America but I have been pleased with my form and the interest I have received has been good for my ego. I have no worries about my fitness and I am really looking forward to the season starting now.

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

The earth was made so various that the mind Of desultory man studious of change And pleased with novelty might be indulged.

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

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.
