I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days. ~ L. Ron Hubbard
Greatest Pleasures quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
I'm not much of a correspondent. My letters are not only uninteresting but sparse. I'm glad I don?t have to write for a living. It?s arduous work and the money is very uncertain. On those rare occasions when I wander into a bookstore it amazes me to see the avalanche of literature and semi-literature that is turned out weekly in this country. The people who write these things are either desperate for money or love starved. Why should anyone on a nice balmy day lock oneself in an office and hit a typewriter for hours on end. I think one of the greatest pleasures in the world is not writing ... ~ Groucho Marx
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Groucho Marx
The single greatest pleasure that I have in doing ('Bizarre Foods') is when I meet families with 6, 7, 8-year-olds, or teenagers, who say, 'It's something the whole family can watch, and it lets us show our younger children that one man's 'weird' is another man's 'wonderful,' and we all kind of live in the same place.' It's just the best part of my day. ~ Andrew Zimmern
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Andrew Zimmern
One of my greatest pleasures there was enjoying the smell of bacon frying and coffee brewing and knowing that white folks were doing the preparing instead of me. I was 42 years old, and it was one of the few times in my life up to that point when I did not feel any hostility from white people. ~ Rosa Parks
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Rosa Parks
Talent will only take you so far, and it is your ability to feel the music and explore a movement that will bring you the greatest pleasure in dance. ~ Karen Kain
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Karen Kain
Throwing yourself into a job you enjoy is one of the life's greatest pleasures! ~ Richard Branson
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Richard Branson
It is the greatest pleasure of living to win souls to Christ. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Dwight L. Moody
One of my greatest pleasures is a good cut of meat, and the bloodier the better. Just show them the flame, I always tell my cook. Just show it to them. ~ Joe Abercrombie
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Joe Abercrombie
The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving. ~ Ben Hogan
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Ben Hogan
There is a certain proper and luxurious way of lying in bed. Confucius, that great artist of life, "never lay straight" in bed, "like a corpse", but always curled up on one side. I believe one of the greatest pleasures of life is to curl up one's legs in bed. The posture of the arms is also very important, in order to reach the greatest degree of aesthetic pleasure and mental power. I believe the best posture is not lying flat on the bed, but being upholstered with big soft pillows at an angle of thirty degrees with either one arm or both arms placed behind the back of one's head. ~ Lin Yutang
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Lin Yutang
Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains. ~ Democritus
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Democritus
Creative work is one of life's greatest pleasures, and the only one we will gladly interrupt. ~ Mignon McLaughlin
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Mignon McLaughlin
Free will is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. ~ Scott Adams
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Scott Adams
It is not in novelty but in habit that we find the greatest pleasure. ~ Raymond Radiguet
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Raymond Radiguet
What could I wish for the present but to take the greatest pleasure in being what I am? ~ Raoul Vaneigem
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Raoul Vaneigem
To a literate reader, a crisp sentence, an arresting metaphor, a witty aside, an elegant turn of phrase are among life's greatest pleasures. And ~ Steven Pinker
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Steven Pinker
The happiest lot is not to have experienced the keenest delights or the greatest pleasures, but to have brought life to a close without any very great pain, bodily or mental. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
One of my greatest pleasures in motor racing is qualifying. You have loads of freedom from pushing a lap the whole way. I've always been very good in qualifying in the past; everything I've done, I've got pole positions. ~ Bruno Senna
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Bruno Senna
Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure, only death can stop it. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
I am in no mood to be deceived any longer by the crafty devil and false character whose greatest pleasure is to take advantage of everyone. ~ Camille Claudel
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Camille Claudel
I like hearing myself talk. It is one of my greatest pleasures. I often have long conversations all by myself, ~ Oscar Wilde
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Oscar Wilde
Some of my greatest pleasures have come from finding ways to overcome obstacles. ~ John Wooden
Greatest Pleasures quotes by John Wooden
One of my greatest pleasures in life is promising myself I will not drink, or smoke, or take coke, or do heroin, or eat cookies, then doing it. It's a pleasure that can be repeated daily. ~ Amanda Filipacchi
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Amanda Filipacchi
We derive our greatest pleasures not from novelty but from familiarity. ~ Raymond Radiguet
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Raymond Radiguet
True genius walks along a line, and, perhaps, our greatest pleasure is in seeing it so often near falling, without being ever actually down. ~ Oliver Goldsmith
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Oliver Goldsmith
What do we value most? What would we most hate to lose? What do our thoughts turn to most frequently when we are free to think of what we will? And finally, what affords us the greatest pleasure? ~ Aiden Wilson Tozer
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Being alone can be a very effective way of calming down and is also enjoyable, especially if engaged in a special interest, one of the greatest pleasures in life for someone with Asperger's syndrome. ~ Tony Attwood
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Tony Attwood
We were created for meaningful work, and one of life's greatest pleasures is the satisfaction of a job well done. ~ John C. Maxwell
Greatest Pleasures quotes by John C. Maxwell
Tell me what gives a man or woman their greatest pleasure and I'll tell you their philosophy of life. ~ Dale Carnegie
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Dale Carnegie
Your greatest pleasure is that which rebounds from hearts that you have made glad. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Reading and naps, two of life's greatest pleasures, go especially well together. ~ Will Schwalbe
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Will Schwalbe
Thinking is one of the greatest pleasures of the human race. ~ Bertolt Brecht
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Bertolt Brecht
Love makes the greatest pleasures and most sensitive misfortunes of life. ~ Madeleine De Scudery
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Madeleine De Scudery
The process of the hero getting in touch with his tender side is one of the greatest pleasures of the romance. Scenes where an alpha male expresses his feelings are always described in rich detail. In the same way that women often find the breathless gasping and moaning of female porn stars to be absurdly inauthentic, male readers of romances might find the emotional confessions of romance heroes to be strangely unfamiliar. ~ Ogi Ogas
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Ogi Ogas
Do you know that conversation is one of the greatest pleasures in life? But it wants leisure. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Greatest Pleasures quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
I have always loved food. I began cooking for my family as a young girl, and to this day, it's one of my greatest pleasures in life. ~ Suzanne Somers
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Suzanne Somers
One of the greatest pleasures of working on shows is that I enjoy watching the actors - who are all younger than me now - and their careers. I love seeing how they're doing and seeing them getting good gigs and doing well. ~ Kelly Bishop
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Kelly Bishop
Love has the face of a goddess, but the talons of a lion. ~ Ivan Panin
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Ivan Panin
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. ~ Oscar Wilde
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Oscar Wilde
Not the poem which we have read , but that to which we return , with the greatest pleasure, possesses the genuine power, and claims the name of essential poetry . ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I escaped the torture of my childhood home by reading. To this day it is still one of my greatest pleasures. ~ Colleen McCullough
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Colleen McCullough
One of my greatest pleasures is falling into a story someone else has written. ~ Nora Roberts
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Nora Roberts
Live a real experience of love is one of the greatest pleasures of life. It feels like the soul, but to express the feelings depends on the ideas of each. Constrain the love of our neurotic needs and we with him. Live a life trying to make others take responsibility for our needs as we recklessly abandon.

We want to be loved and not love, we want to be understood and we do not understand, we want the support of others and we give our them. When we abandon ourselves, we want to find someone who will fill the hole that we dug. The dissatisfaction, emptiness turn on continual search for new relationships, the results will be repeated frustrating.

Each is solely responsible for their own purposes. Only those who can find love in your life One Love Truth
~ Zibia Gasparetto
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Zibia Gasparetto
One of the greatest pleasures of my life has been that I have never stopped learning about Good Cooking and Good Food ~ Edna Lewis
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Edna Lewis
I was a stray acquaintance whom he had never seem before and would never see again, a wandered for a moment through his monotonous life, and some starved impulse left him to lay bare his soul. I have in this way learned more about men in a night than I could if I had known them for 10 years. If you are interested in human nature, it is one of the greatest pleasures of travel. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Greatest Pleasures quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
She says it is a school for bluestockings which, according to her, is really only a fashionable way of saying it is a school for ugly girls who cannot find suitable husbands. To tease her, for I believe it is one of his greatest pleasures in this life, my father bought a pair of blue silk stockings for me the day we received my letter of acceptance. That evening and the next, father and I dined alone. ~ Gwenn Wright
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Gwenn Wright
The man who doesn't make up his mind to cultivate the habit of thinking misses the greatest pleasure in life. ~ Thomas A. Edison
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Thomas A. Edison
Being in a marriage and having children is the greatest pleasure, but it is certainly not the easiest pleasure. It is not like eating ice cream. ~ Andrew Solomon
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Andrew Solomon
Pretending is one of our greatest pleasures. But you have to know you're pretending. ~ Marty Rubin
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Marty Rubin
Proof seduces them. One of the greatest pleasures of the human race is thinking. ~ Bertolt Brecht
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Bertolt Brecht
There is no good talking to him," said a Dragon-fly, who was sitting on the top of a large brown bulrush; "no good at all, for he has gone away."
"Well, that is his loss, not mine," answered the Rocket. "I am not going to stop talking to him merely because he pays no attention. I like hearing myself talk. It is one of my greatest pleasures. I often have long conversations all by myself, and I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying."
"Then you should definitely lecture on Philosophy," said the Dragon-fly. ~ Oscar Wilde
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Oscar Wilde
I found the bench to be the greatest ally when I had to make individuals comply with what was best for the team ~ John Wooden
Greatest Pleasures quotes by John Wooden
And because God's love is uncoercive and treasures our freedom - if above all he wants us to love him, then we must be left free not to love him - we are free to resist it, deny it, crucify it finally, which we do again and again. This is our terrible freedom, which love refuses to overpower so that, in this, the greatest of all powers, God's power, is itself powerless. ~ Frederick Buechner
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Frederick Buechner
Some gems for the greatest of them all ~ Muhammad Ali
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Muhammad Ali
Starting in 1792 with George Washington, there were financial crises every ten to fifteen years. Panics, bank runs, credit freezes, crashes, depressions. People lost their farms, families were wiped out. This went on for more than a hundred years, until the Great Depression, when Oklahoma turned to dust. "We can do better than this." Americans said. "We don't need to go back to the boom-and-bust cycle." The Great Depression produced three regulations:
The FDIC-your bank deposits were safe.
Glass-Steagall-banks couldn't go crazy with your money.
The SEC-stock markets would be tightly controlled.
For fifty years, these rules kept America from having another financial crisis. Not one panic or meltdown or freeze. They gave Americans security and prosperity. Banking was dull. The country produced the greatest middle class the world had ever seen. ~ Elizabeth Warren
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Elizabeth Warren
In every heart there is an inner room, where we can hold our greatest treasures and our deepest pain. ~ Marianne Williamson
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Marianne Williamson
Hatred and anger are the greatest poison to the happiness of a good mind. There is, in the very feeling of those passions, something harsh, jarring, and convulsive, something that tears and distracts the breast, and is altogether destructive of that composure and tranquillity of mind which is so necessary to happiness, and which is best promoted by the contrary passions of gratitude and love. ~ Adam Smith
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Adam Smith
I never read anything in print about me. It started with not reading reviews and with the greatest respect to my publicist here, I never read interviews. I was there when I gave them. I never read reviews. I was there when I did the jobs - so I'm totally immune. I live in a bubble. ~ Ben Kingsley
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Ben Kingsley
19When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. ~ Anonymous
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Anonymous
You never stop to think how the history of whiteness in America is one long scroll of affirmative action. You never stop to think that Babe Ruth never had to play the greatest players of his generation - just the greatest white players. You never stop to think that most of our presidents never rose to the top because they bested the competition - just the white competition. White privilege is a self-selecting tool that keeps you from having to compete with the best. The history of white folk gaining access to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale is the history of white folk deciding ahead of the game that you were superior. You argue that slots in school should be reserved for your kin, because, after all, they are smarter, more disciplined, better suited, and more deserving that inferior blacks. ~ Michael Eric Dyson
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Michael Eric Dyson
I have no problem with being fabulous. My problem comes when you won't allow yourself to be an ordinary woman with a decent apartment and an okay job. When only the mom is allowed to be boring - because her life is so rich with meaning.

When I carefully choreographed the story of how amazing I was, I was acting like one of those helicopter parents - you know, the ones who refuse to admit that their Jackson might suck at math or Stella might not be the world's greatest violinist. 'You are special! You are special!' they cry to their children, hoping this will boost their confidence. But the real message is one of panic: You must be special. Ordinary is not okay. When I walked into a party projecting the Shiny Girl - she of the lighthearted flings and glitzy job - I was essentially doing the same thing. ~ Sara Eckel
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Sara Eckel
AS C.S. Lewis once said, for Joe life here on earth was only the title and cover page. And now he has begun the greatest story of all, one that no one on earth has ever read in which ever chapter is better than the last. ~ Karen Kingsbury
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Karen Kingsbury
Laughter is a most healthful exercise; it is one of the greatest helps to digestion with which I am acquainted; and the custom prevalent among our forefathers, of exciting it at table by jesters and buffoons, was in accordance with true medical principles. ~ Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland
The acid test of our love for God is obedience to His Word. The greatest ability is dependability. The test of your character is what it takes to stop you. Trust God as if it all depends upon Him, and work as if it all depends upon you. ~ Bob Jones, Sr.
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Bob Jones, Sr.
[On Anger]
[T]he instinct of self-preservation, setting itself against everything that interferes with our pleasures and comfort. What is called temper, with its fruits of anger and strife, has its roots in the physical constitution, and is one among the sins of the flesh.
[of the spirit ... ]
[T]he doing our will rather than His. In relation to our fellow-men it shows itself in envy, hatred, and want of love, cold neglect or harsh judging of others.
[of fear ... ]
The fear of God need never hinder the faith in Him. And true faith will never hinder the practical work of cleansing. ~ Andrew Murray
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Andrew Murray
Because the math is, if you - 5 percent of a million is a lot more than 5 percent of a thousand. So yeah, someone who makes more money, numerically, it's gonna be higher. But the greatest gains, percentage-wise, for people, are gonna be at the lower end of our plan. ~ Ted Cruz
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Ted Cruz
I believe the real reason we pursue anything in life is not for the thing itself, but for who we become on the way to its accomplishment. We strive to accomplish things in the attempt to mold ourselves. The greatest benefits Jiu Jitsu will have in your life will have nothing to do with Jiu Jitsu. It is this simple understanding that allows me to persist in my study. Even on the rare days when I may not have a burning desire to practice Jiu Jitsu, I am reminded that my practicing Jiu Jitsu is more accurately my practicing to become a better human being. The lessons I learn on the mat will serve me in every area of life
personal development, relationships, business, and the like. ~ Chris Matakas
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Chris Matakas
Instead of looking for the success in your life, look for the thing that is going to bring you the greatest joy. ~ Oprah Winfrey
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Oprah Winfrey
Modern economics does not distinguish between renewable and non-renewable materials, as its very method is to equalise and quantify everything by means of a money price. Thus, taking various alternative fuels, like coal, oil, wood, or water-power: the only difference between them recognised by modern economics is relative cost per equivalent unit. The cheapest is automatically the one to be preferred, as to do otherwise would be irrational and "uneconomic." From a Buddhist point of view, of course, this will not do; the essential difference between nonrenewable fuels like coal and oil on the one hand and renewable fuels like wood and water-power on the other cannot be simply overlooked. Non-renewable goods must be used only if they are indispensable, and then only with the greatest care and the most meticulous concern for conservation. To use them heedlessly or extravagantly is an act of violence, and while complete non-violence may not be attainable on this earth, there is nonetheless an ineluctable duty on man to aim at the ideal of non-violence in all he does…

As the world's resources of non-renewable fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - are exceedingly unevenly distributed over the globe and undoubtedly limited in quantity, it is clear that their exploitation at an ever-increasing rate is an act of violence against nature which must almost inevitably lead to violence between men. ~ Ernst F. Schumacher
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Ernst F. Schumacher
Even the greatest bringers of justice will only find salvation in surrneder ~ Jessica Shirvington
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Jessica Shirvington
Only the refined and delicate pleasures that spring from research and education can build up barriers between different ranks. ~ Madame De Stael
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Madame De Stael
Forgiveness is God's greatest gift because it meets our greatest need. ~ David Platt
Greatest Pleasures quotes by David Platt
I take my camera pretty much everywhere and try to get the most diverse photos possible, since I get to travel to all the greatest cities in the country and see iconic architecture and things like that. I also like racing photos - like motorcycles, cars, stuff like that. ~ C. J. Wilson
Greatest Pleasures quotes by C. J. Wilson
The pleasures of this world are rather from God's goodness than our own merit. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Inconsistent professors are the greatest stumbling blocks to the spread of the cause of Christ! ~ Charles Spurgeon
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Charles Spurgeon
The greatest mistake we can make is to stay on the ground after falling. ~ Victor Manuel Rivera
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Victor Manuel Rivera
Make treating yourself a priority and always remember your life is happening now. Don't put off all your dreams and pleasures to another day. In any balanced personal definition of success there has to be a powerful element of living life in the present. ~ Mireille Guiliano
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Mireille Guiliano
The greatest sacrifice is the sacrifice of time. ~ Antiphon
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Antiphon
One all-extending soul connects each being, greatest with the least; made beast in aid of man, and man in aid of beast; All served, all serving; nothing stands alone; the chain holds on, and where it ends, unknown. ~ Alexander Pope
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Alexander Pope
The awfulness of Monday mornings is the world's greatest common denominator. To the millionaire and the coolie it is the same, because there can be nothing worse. ~ Kenneth Fearing
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Kenneth Fearing
All the greatest men are maniacs. They are possessed by a mania which drives them forward towards thier goal. The great scientists, the philosophers, the religious leaders - all maniacs. What else but a blind singlenee of purpose could have given focus to thier genius, would have kept them in the groove of purpose. Mania ... is as priceless as genius. ~ Ian Fleming
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Ian Fleming
I reserve my greatest admiration for those who continue to struggle to embrace the whole impossible tangle of snakes that is our society; those who fight to identify and strengthen human connections, and defeat polarizing forces that strain to drive us apart. ~ Shana Alexander
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Shana Alexander
In order to get one of the greatest inventions of the modern age, in other words, we thought we needed the solitary genius. But if Alexander Graham Bell had fallen into the Grand River and drowned that day back in Brantford, the world would still have had the telephone, the only difference being that the telephone company would have been nicknamed Ma Gray, not Ma Bell. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
[The] United States is proud to stand with you as your strongest ally and greatest friend. I see this visit as an opportunity to reaffirm the unbreakable bond between our nations, to restate America's unwavering commitment to Israel's security, and to speak directly to Israel and to your neighbors. ~ Barack Obama
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Barack Obama
At some point, even the greatest misery begins to fade. Life, or what passes for life, plods on in it's own unending weary footsteps, and somehow we plod along with it, if we stay lucky. ~ Jeff Lindsay
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Jeff Lindsay
The greatest gift God gave us is the power to make decisions. ~ Paulo Coelho
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Paulo Coelho
The mathematical challenge of finding the greatest good can expand the heart. Empathy opens the mind to suffering, and math keeps it open. ~ Derek Thompson
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Derek Thompson
The greatest health is wealth. ~ Virgil
Greatest Pleasures quotes by Virgil
One of the greatest weaknesses in most of us is our lack of faith in ourselves. One of our common failings is to depreciate our tremendous worth. ~ L. Tom Perry
