ENJOYMENT

Blair, Hugh
Only mediocrity of enjoyment is allowed to man.

Child, Mrs. Lydia M.
Gratitude is the memory of the heart; therefore forget not to say often, I have all I have ever enjoyed.

Evremond, Charles de Saint Denis
Imperfect enjoyment is attended with regret; a surfeit of pleasure with disgust. There is a certain nick of time, a certain medium to be observed, with which few people are acquainted.

Hale, Sarah J.
Those who would enjoyment gain must find it in the purpose they pursue.

Haliburton, Thomas C.
Let all seen enjoyments lead to the unseen fountain from whence they flow.

Haller, Albert von
The enjoyments of this present short life, which are indeed but puerile amusements, must disappear when placed in competition with the greatness and durability of the glory which is to come.

Humboldt, Alexander
True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united.

Johnson, Samuel
Whatever advantage or enjoyment we snatch beyond the certain portion allotted us by nature, is like money spent before it is due, which at the time of regular payment will be missed and regretted.

Landon, Letitia Elizabeth
Restraint is the golden rule of enjoyment.

Lavater, John Caspar
The less you can enjoy, the poorer and scantier yourself; the more you can enjoy, the richer and more vigorous.

Quarles, Francis
Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word "satiety."

Richter, Jean Paul
Sleep, riches, health, and so every blessing, are not truly and fully enjoyed till after they have been interrupted.

Shakespeare, William
What we have, we prize, not to the worth while we enjoy it; but being lacked and lost, why then we rack the value; then we find the virtue that possession would not show us while it was ours.

Sharp, James
All solitary enjoyments quickly pall, or become painful.

Smith, Sydney
No enjoyment, however inconsiderable, is confined to the present moment. A man is the happier for life from having made once an agreeable tour, or lived for any length of time with pleasant people, or enjoyed any considerable interval of innocent pleasure.

Southey, Robert
I have told you of the Spaniard who always put on his spectacles when about to eat cherries, that they might look bigger and more tempting. In like manner I make the most of my enjoyments; and though I do not cast my cares away, I pack them in as little compass as I can, and carry them as conveniently as I can for myself, and never let them annoy others.
