We say no to lots of things that would please us. I would like to punch people every now and then but I don't. I would like to have something for free rather than pay for it. I would like to skip to the front of the line... I don't mean to brush aside the taste of meat which is a powerful attraction. But its power is not without limit.

I was very pleased that the positive things about me and my game outshone the aggressive style of play I use. I would never tone that down because I believe in that style of play and I believe that you can play rough on the court and still be a good sport.

I think people in Botswana are pleased that my books paint a positive picture of their lives and portray the country as being very special. They've made a great success of their country and the people are fed up with the constant reporting of only the problems and poverty of the continent. They welcome something which puts the positive side.

I'm pleased to offer analysis of public policy and politics to the millions of Americans who get their news from Fox.

Please don't ask me any questions about the politics of 30 years ago.

But I can only write what the muse allows me to write. I cannot choose I can only do what I am given and I feel pleased when I feel close to concrete poetry - still.

No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers.

If you remember you just have one constituent and that's God himself and if you try to please him I think you usually come with a lot steadier pace and a lot more peace in your life.

Behold the child by Nature's kindly law pleased with a rattle tickled with a straw.

My recollection of a hundred lovely lakes has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.
