I would say that the surest measure of a man's or a woman's maturity is the harmony style joy and dignity he creates in his marriage and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.

Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty.

Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.

Love consists in giving without getting in return in giving what is not owed what is not due the other. That's why true love is never based as associations for utility or pleasure are on a fair exchange.

Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.

Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret.

Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are.

There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.

Come live with me and be my love And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys groves hills and fields Woods or steepy mountain yields.

My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.
