In his way and in his day he was a very modern father. "I want you to see all kinds," he would say to her. "I want you to realize that this whole thing is just a grand adventure. A fine show. The trick is to play in it and look at it at the same time."
"What whole thing?"
"Living. All mixed up. The more kinds of people you see, and the more things you do, and the more things that happen to you, the richer you are. Even if they're not pleasant things. That's living.... ~ Edna Ferber
Pleasant Things quotes by Edna Ferber
I love a ballad but even too well if it be doleful matter merrily set down, or a very pleasant thing indeed and sung lamentably. ~ William Shakespeare
Pleasant Things quotes by William Shakespeare
Mathematicians grow very old; it is a healthy profession. The reason you live long is that you have pleasant thoughts. Math and physics are very pleasant things to do. ~ Dirk Jan Struik
Pleasant Things quotes by Dirk Jan Struik
I'm glad and I'm sorry. I'm always sorry when pleasant things end. Something still more pleasant may come after, but you can never be sure. And it's so often the case that it isn't more pleasant. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Pleasant Things quotes by L.M. Montgomery
I don't want to say that sanctions are ridiculous and that we couldn't care less; these are not pleasant things ... We find little joy in that, but there are no painful sensations. We have lived through tougher times. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Pleasant Things quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Do pleasant things yourself, but unpleasant things through others. ~ Baltasar Gracian
Pleasant Things quotes by Baltasar Gracian
Curious learning not only makes unpleasant things less unpleasant but also makes pleasant things more pleasant. ~ Bertrand Russell
Pleasant Things quotes by Bertrand Russell
Many pleasant things are better when they belong to someone else ... When things belong to others, we enjoy them twice as much, without the risk of losing them, and with the pleasure of novelty. ~ Baltasar Gracian
Pleasant Things quotes by Baltasar Gracian
Nowadays we are all of us so hard up that the only pleasant things to pay are compliments. They're the only things we can pay. ~ Oscar Wilde
Pleasant Things quotes by Oscar Wilde
That is the true mingling of kinship when a man can tell someone all his thoughts; anything is better than to be fickle; he is no true friend who only says pleasant things. ~ Anonymous
Pleasant Things quotes by Anonymous
She could make dream-worlds of her own – but no dream-world would satisfy her now. She wanted some explanation of this hard, real life: the unhappy-looking father seated at the dull breakfast-table; the childish bewildered mother; the little sordid tasks that filled the hours, or the more oppressive emptiness of weary, joyless leisure; the need of some tender, demonstrative love; the cruel sense that Tom didn't mind what she thought or felt, and that they were no longer playfellows together; the privation of all pleasant things that had come to her more than to others: she wanted some key that would enable her to understand and, in understanding, endure, the heavy weight that had fallen on her young heart. If she had been taught "real learning and wisdom, such as great men knew," she thought she should have held the secrets of life; if she had only books that she might learn for herself what wise men knew! ~ George Eliot
Pleasant Things quotes by George Eliot
Have you ever noticed," asked Anne reflectively, "that when people say it is their duty to tell you a certain thing you may prepare for something disagreeable? Why is it that they never seem to think it a duty to tell you the pleasant things they hear about you? ~ L.M. Montgomery
Pleasant Things quotes by L.M. Montgomery
When the gray November weather came, and hung its soft dark clouds low and unbroken over the brown of the ploughed fields and the vivid emerald of the stretches of winter corn, the heavy stillness weighed my heart down to a forlorn yearning after the pleasant things of childhood, the petting, the comforting, the warming faith in the unfailing wisdom of the elders. A great need of something to lean on, and a great weariness of independence and responsibility took possession of my soul; and looking round for support and comfort in that transitory mood, the emptiness of the present and the blankness of the future sent me back to the past with all its ghosts. ~ Elizabeth Von Arnim
Pleasant Things quotes by Elizabeth Von Arnim
There will no longer be so many pleasant things to look at if responsible people do not do something about the unpleasant ones. ~ Madeleine L'Engle
Pleasant Things quotes by Madeleine L'Engle
Even the pleasant things in life are grasped after with an unwarranted desire which overestimates the pleasure they will give, and is accompanied by a constant fear of their loss. ~ David Ross Komito
Pleasant Things quotes by David Ross Komito
There is such a mistaken notion abroad in this country that the individual who makes sharp remarks must be sincere, while the one who says pleasant things must be more or less a humbug. ~ J. E. Buckrose
Pleasant Things quotes by J. E. Buckrose
One of the pleasant things about small town life is that everyone, whether rich or poor, liked or disliked, has some kind of a role and place in the community. I never felt that living in a city
as I once did for a couple of years. ~ Edward Abbey
Pleasant Things quotes by Edward Abbey
One of the pleasant things about you is that you're entirely predictable because you never learn. I've told you before, and I'm telling you again, that people who murder other people are dangerous to be around. You're charming, my dear, and sometimes you act like an awful fool. Someday it'll be you that doesn't wake up at the foot of some stone steps. Those are terms a first-grader ought to be able to understand--won't you see what you can make of them? ~ Leslie Ford
Pleasant Things quotes by Leslie Ford
To the inexperienced it is a pleasant thing to court the favour of the great; an experienced man fears it. ~ Horace
Pleasant Things quotes by Horace
I believe a man is born first unto himself - for the happy developing of himself, while the world is a nursery, and the pretty things are to be snatched for, and pleasant things tasted; some people seem to exist thus right to the end. But most are born again on entering manhood; then they are born to humanity, to a consciousness of all the laughing, and the never-ceasing murmur of pain and sorrow that comes from the terrible multitudes of brothers. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Pleasant Things quotes by D.H. Lawrence
He decides he wants both more or less. He'd like to hang with Beyonce in a nice way, get to know her by doing small pleasant things together like playing board games and going out for ice cream, or how about this, a three-week trial run in some tropical paradise where they can hang together in that nice way and possibly fall in love, and meanwhile fuck each other's brains out in their spare time. He wants both, he wants the entire body-soul connect because anything less is just demeaning. ~ Ben Fountain
Pleasant Things quotes by Ben Fountain
a river always leads to some inhabited spot. If we do not find pleasant things we shall at least find new things." "With ~ Voltaire
Pleasant Things quotes by Voltaire
Repentance means a change of mind. Formerly, I thought sin as a pleasant thing, but now I have changed my mind about it. Formerly, I thought the world an attractive place, but now I know better. Formerly I regarded it miserable business to be a Christian, but now I think differently. Once I thought certain things delightful, now I think them vile. Once I thought other things utterly worthless, now I think them most precious. That is a change of mind, and that is repentance. ~ Watchman Nee
Pleasant Things quotes by Watchman Nee
The great Big Black Things that have loomed against the horizon of my life, threatening to devour me, simply loomed and nothing more. The things that have really made me miss my train have
always been sweet, soft, pretty, pleasant things of which I was not in the least afraid. ~ Elbert Hubbard
Pleasant Things quotes by Elbert Hubbard
When you gossip about another person, listeners unconsciously associate you with the characteristics you are describing, ultimately leading to those characteristics' being "transferred" to you. So, say positive and pleasant things about friends and colleagues, and you are seen as a nice person. In contrast, constantly complain about their failings, and people will unconsciously apply the negative traits and incompetence to you. ~ Richard Wiseman
Pleasant Things quotes by Richard Wiseman
Everywhere the grain stood ripe and the hot afternoon was full of the smell of the ripe wheat, like the smell of bread baking in an oven. The breath of the wheat and the sweet clover passed him like pleasant things in a dream. ~ Willa Cather
Pleasant Things quotes by Willa Cather
I adore good food as I adore all the other pleasant things of life, and because I have that gift I am able to look upon the future with equanimity."
"Why?" asked Alec.
"Because a love for good food is the only thing that remains with man when he grows old. Love? What is love when you are five and fifty and can no longer hide the disgraceful baldness of your pate. Ambition? What is ambition when you have discovered that honours are to the pushing and glory to the vulgar. Finally we must all reach an age when every passion seems vain, every desire not worth the trouble of achieving it; but then there still remain to the man with a good appetite three pleasures each day, his breakfast, his luncheon, and his dinner. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Pleasant Things quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
Once you learn to read the land, I have no fear of what you will do to it, or with it. And I know many pleasant things it will do to you. ~ Aldo Leopold
Pleasant Things quotes by Aldo Leopold
Pleasant things to hear, though hearing them from him embarrasses me. I soak up the praise but feel obliged to disparage the gift. I believe that most people have some degree of talent for something
forms, colors, words, sounds. Talent lies around in us like kindling waiting for a match, but some people, just as gifted as others, are less lucky. Fate never drops a match on them. The times are wrong, or their health is poor, or their energy low, or their obligations too many. Something. ~ Wallace Stegner
Pleasant Things quotes by Wallace Stegner
I imagined there were more pleasant things to do on a late-summer morning than pick up your only son from prison. ~ Michael Sears
Pleasant Things quotes by Michael Sears
Do you suppose, that part of the constant delight of Heaven, will be the ability to be truly thankful for every thing, no matter how miniscule? Even in this life there are an enormous number of very pleasant things that happen to us throughout the day, that we accept as being nothing out of the common way, and thus do not regard: not realizing that the very fact of their being so 'common' is in itself a blessing of the very highest magnitude! ~ Meredith Allady
Pleasant Things quotes by Meredith Allady
It is a pleasant thing to reflect upon, and furnishes a complete answer to those who contend for the gradual degeneration of the human species, that every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last. ~ Charles Dickens
Pleasant Things quotes by Charles Dickens
Feedback is a pleasant thing. I get a lot of letters from unexpected people in unexpected places. ~ Brian Aldiss
Pleasant Things quotes by Brian Aldiss

Pleasant Things quotes by Sahara Sanders
I look forward to these confrontations with the press to kind of balance up the nice and pleasant things that come to me as president. ~ Jimmy Carter
Pleasant Things quotes by Jimmy Carter
God has given us speech in order that we may say pleasant things to our friends, and tell bitter truths to our enemies. ~ Heinrich Heine
Pleasant Things quotes by Heinrich Heine
It's a pleasant thing to be young, and have ten toes. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Pleasant Things quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
I really never look at my health issues as 'Woe is me.' I've seen the reality of that. And it's not a pleasant thing. ~ Rick Majerus
Pleasant Things quotes by Rick Majerus
One must either stop reading the Bible altogether, or else leave off spending one's whole time in just doing easy pleasant things one likes to do. ~ Elizabeth Payson Prentiss
Pleasant Things quotes by Elizabeth Payson Prentiss
Gautama's insight was that no matter what the mind experiences, it usually reacts with craving, and craving always involves dissatisfaction. When the mind experiences something distasteful it craves to be rid of the irritation. When the mind experiences something pleasant, it craves that the pleasure will remain and will intensify. Therefore, the mind is always dissatisfied and restless. This is very clear when we experience unpleasant things, such as pain. As long as the pain continues, we are dissatisfied and do all we can to avoid it. Yet even when we experience pleasant things we are never content. We either fear that the pleasure might disappear, or we hope that it will intensify. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Pleasant Things quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
One of the pleasant things those of us who write or paint do is to have the daily miracle. It does come. ~ Gertrude Stein
Pleasant Things quotes by Gertrude Stein
I used to live an isolated existence, even in relationships, but now my family knows me for who I really am. Mostly, that's a good thing. ~ Tim Allen
Pleasant Things quotes by Tim Allen
My Own Epitaph
Life's a jest, and all things show it.
I thought so once, and now I know it. ~ John Gay
Pleasant Things quotes by John Gay
THERE ARE FEW THINGS as beautiful as a glass bottle filled with deep amber whiskey. Liquor shines when the light hits it, reminiscent of precious things like jewels and gold. But whiskey is better than some lifeless bracelet or coronet. Whiskey is a living thing capable of any emotion that you are. It's love and deep laughter and brotherhood of the type that bonds nations together. Whiskey is your friend when nobody else comes around. And whiskey is solace that holds you tighter than most lovers can. I thought all that while looking at my sealed bottle. And I knew for a fact that it was all true. True the way a lover's pillow talk is true. True the way a mother's dreams for her napping infant are true. But the whiskey mind couldn't think its way out of the problems I had. So I took Mr. Seagram's, put him in his box, and placed him up on the shelf where he belonged. ~ Walter Mosley
Pleasant Things quotes by Walter Mosley
I speak my mind. I'm not really afraid of things. I actually don't think that's that unusual. ~ Kyrsten Sinema
Pleasant Things quotes by Kyrsten Sinema
Children must learn obedience, and parents must exact obedience from them. Love your children, let them know that you love them; but remember that it is no favor to a child to let him do things he should not do. I have seen the results of many surveys and know from personal experience that children want some direction and control in their lives and want to live up to the expectations of those who are responsible for directing their lives. ~ N. Eldon Tanner
Pleasant Things quotes by N. Eldon Tanner
I know things aren't easy for you right now… You may be wondering how you're going to deal with everything that's facing you. But I know you- you have a strong spirit- and even though it might be hard for you to believe, I know you have what it takes to get through this time. And if you ever need to talk or if you'd like the support of a friend, I'll always be here with open arms, a listening ear, and a loving shoulder to lean on. And most important, I'm here to remind you… as often as you need… that things are going to be okay. ~ M. Gentry
Pleasant Things quotes by M. Gentry
If you stare at an object, as you do when you paint, there is no point at which you stop learning things from it. ~ Wayne Thiebaud
Pleasant Things quotes by Wayne Thiebaud
We're on the verge of all things new. ~ Billy Joel
Pleasant Things quotes by Billy Joel
Make bold choices and make mistakes. It's all those things that add up to the person you become. ~ Angelina Jolie
Pleasant Things quotes by Angelina Jolie
There are so many things I wish I had learned when I was 16 or 17 years old. They would have been game changers in my life. ~ Pete Herr
Pleasant Things quotes by Pete Herr
Many outsiders clarified that they believe Christians have a right (even an obligation) to pursue political involvement, but they disagree with our methods and our attitudes. They say we seem to be pursuing an agenda that benefits only ourselves; that we expect too much out of politics; they question whether we are motivated by our economic status rather than faith perspectives when we support conservative politics; they claim we act and say things in an unchristian manner; they wonder whether Jesus would use political power as we do; and they are concerned that we overpowered the voices of other groups. ~ David Kinnaman
Pleasant Things quotes by David Kinnaman
The Gray Man hated his current rental car. He got the distinct impression it hadn't been handled enough by humans when it was young, and now it would never be pleasant to be around. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Pleasant Things quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
To be wild is not to be crazy or psychotic. True wildness is a love of nature, a delight in silence, a voice free to say spontaneous things, and an exuberant curiosity in the face of the unknown. ~ Robert Bly
Pleasant Things quotes by Robert Bly
The house, the pond, the tree - it was all both overwhelmingly familiar and different from what she remembered - smaller and shabbier, somehow. It was like waking up to find that your reflection in the mirror had aged overnight, or had sprouted a new mole: You were forced to admit that things changed, whether you gave them permission to or not. ~ Lauren Oliver
Pleasant Things quotes by Lauren Oliver
Why did nobody in my life listen to me? So many things could be averted if they did. ~ Donna Augustine
Pleasant Things quotes by Donna Augustine
Craig Nelson who is an actor and is in a show called Coach in the United States. We began to do some improvisational stuff and we used to get laughs and things. ~ Barry Levinson
Pleasant Things quotes by Barry Levinson
It's a very, very exciting time, but you can't help thinking or not quite knowing how it's seen from the outside. You're constantly in a state of terror or regret, not quite knowing how things are going to pan out, or whether you've made the right decisions. But, maybe that's just what it's like. Maybe that's just the life of it. ~ Dominic Cooper
Pleasant Things quotes by Dominic Cooper
I've always had a love for making things my own. ~ Jennifer Hudson
Pleasant Things quotes by Jennifer Hudson
You got to fight for quality art and equality and all the things that we're fighting for, the things we believe in. Choice and preference and all those things that we support. We don't want to give up that fight. You got to keep doing it. ~ Christopher Cross
Pleasant Things quotes by Christopher Cross
Perfection is a fallacy. Embrace the things you cannot change and fight for those you can. ~ Danielle Bourdon
Pleasant Things quotes by Danielle Bourdon
There is only the one like me, the companion man or woman, who can wake me from my torpor, set off the poetry, hurl me against the limits of the old desert for me to triumph over it. No other. Neither sky nor privileged earth, now things which set you to trembling.
Torch, I only waltz with that one. ~ Rene Char
Pleasant Things quotes by Rene Char
I think that talented people really do have insecurities, and that is one of the things that kind of motivates them, because that's one thing they know they're good at. And when they're up on that stage, you can do no wrong. The audience is yours; they're there to see you. ~ Natalie Cole
Pleasant Things quotes by Natalie Cole
Many common problems are caused by wrong attitudes. People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them. Naturally you won't be happy that way. You can only be happy when you see things in proper perspective: all human beings are of equal importance in God's sight, and have a job to do in the divine plan. ~ Peace Pilgrim
Pleasant Things quotes by Peace Pilgrim
I believe nostalgia has many appearances and that it's not just the privilege of adults. I think children too can have nostalgia. It's one of mankind's most shared emotions. It's one of the things that makes us human. When you live, you lose things. It's a fact of life. So it's natural for everyone to have nostalgia. ~ Hayao Miyazaki
Pleasant Things quotes by Hayao Miyazaki
Sometimes you have to accept how things are. You can make it easy on yourself, or you can make it hard. The choice is yours. ~ Susan Mallery
Pleasant Things quotes by Susan Mallery
Some people thought I was crazy to have let go of all the worldly things I had "achieved." They didn't understand that I didn't want or need any of that anymore. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Pleasant Things quotes by Eckhart Tolle
I think I am really easygoing. Well ... as I was about halfway through that sentence, I thought, 'No, actually you're really picky.' But the things I ask for are really simple to do. ~ Amanda Harlech
Pleasant Things quotes by Amanda Harlech
There are things money can't buy and hard work can't win. One of them is happiness. ~ Ray Kroc
Pleasant Things quotes by Ray Kroc
To be a mother is to live in fear. Fear of death, of sickness, of loss, of accidents, of strangers, of the Black Man, or simply those small everyday things that somehow manage to hurt us most: the look of impatience, the angry word, the missed bedtime story, the forgotten kiss, the terrible moment when a mother ceases to be the center of her daughter's world and becomes ~ Joanne Harris
Pleasant Things quotes by Joanne Harris
The soul of wit may become the very body of untruth. However elegant and memorable, brevity can never, in the nature of things, do justice to all the facts of a complex situation. On such a theme one can be brief only by omission and simplification. Omission and simplification help us to understand - but help us, in many cases, to understand the wrong thing; for our comprehension may be only of the abbreviator's neatly formulated notions, not of the vast, ramifying reality from which these notions have been so arbitrarily abstracted. ~ Aldous Huxley
Pleasant Things quotes by Aldous Huxley
First and foremost, praying about things and having the good Lord as a part of my life is a huge grounding thing for me. ~ Ashton Shepherd
Pleasant Things quotes by Ashton Shepherd
A theist can't empirically prove that God exists but he believes in God because no one can allegedly disprove God's existence. By his logic, you must believe in anything you can't disprove. That means all things are real until disproved
including the tooth fairy, the Loch Ness Monster, Santa Claus, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, etc. ~ G.M. Jackson
Pleasant Things quotes by G.M. Jackson
Here we are, worrying about whether we're thin enough or whether our bottom looks too big in this pair of trousers or even whether or not I should wear a hat - does it really matter in comparison to the important things that are going on in the world? ~ Cherie Blair
Pleasant Things quotes by Cherie Blair
There are some things you rely on, like a sure bet. And when they let you down, shifting from where you've carefully placed them, it shakes your faith, right where you stand. ~ Julie Bowe
Pleasant Things quotes by Julie Bowe
If you will do the things others won't do then some day you will have the life others won't have. ~ Dave Ramsey
Pleasant Things quotes by Dave Ramsey
It's sharing the small things in life that makes the biggest memories. ~ Austin Bieda
Pleasant Things quotes by Austin Bieda
The problem with time, I've learned, whether it's those first two weeks I got to spend with you, or the final two months I got to spend with him, eventually time always runs out. I have no idea where you are out there in the world, John. But I understand that I lost the right to know these things long ago. No matter how many years go by, I know one thing to be as true as ever was - I'll see you soon then. ~ Nicholas Sparks
Pleasant Things quotes by Nicholas Sparks
