“A man’s life is not qualified by how much wealth, power, pleasure or control he has, but by the values of godliness he possesses.”

“Ungodliness is confronting the society and everyone seems to be at its mercy because of greed for pleasure.”

“One of the main roots of ungodliness is being a lover of pleasure more than a lover of God.”

“When greed is enthroned, be it in a community or nation, ungodliness is celebrated at the altar of human pleasure.”

“We do not lack devices for measuring these miserable days of ours, in which it should be our pleasure that they be not frittered away without leaving behind any memory of ourselves in the mind of men.”

“„Timpul pe care îți face plăcere să îl pierzi nu e timp pierdut.”

“I care not that this moment’s lot was thin and sparsely dealt; all pleasures sweet can be forgot the instant they are felt.”

“And yet it takes only the smallest pleasure or pain to teach us time’s malleability.”

“It was masturbation, not willpower, that made it possible for gazillions of women to walk down the aisle with their reputation and their hymen still intact.”

“Go where the pain is, go where the pleasure is.”

“The main question to a novel is — did it amuse? were you surprised at dinner coming so soon? did you mistake eleven for ten? were you too late to dress? and did you sit up beyond the usual hour? If a novel produces these effects, it is good; if it does not — story, language, love, scandal itself cannot save it. It is only meant to please; and it must do that or it does nothing.”

“The sweet pleasure of prayer, the grace of the soul.”
