Though every prospect pleases
And ordsprog

Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile.

What though the spicy breezes / Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle, / Though every prospect pleases, / And only man is vile. In vain with lavish kindness / The gifts of God are strown, / The heathen in his blindness / Bows down to wood and stone.

PROSPECT, n. An outlook, usually forbidding. An expectation, usually forbidden.

Blow, blow, ye spicy breezes -- O'er Ceylon blow your breath, Where every prospect pleases, Save only that of death. --Bishop Sheber

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

The food of a physician ,is as vile as pus, that of an unchaste woman ,equal to semen, that of a usurer ,as vile as ordure, and that of a dealer in weapons ,as bad as dirt.

Guru Nanak (1469-1539)

Guru Nanak

If it pleases You, then I speak the Truth. If it pleases You, then the True Guru showers His Mercy upon me.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

Say: Surely my Lord amplifies the means of subsistence for whom He pleases and straitens (for whom He pleases), but most men do not know.

And if Allah please He would certainly make you a single nation, but He causes to err whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases; and most certainly you will be questioned as to what you did.

And they who reject Our communications are deaf and dumb, in utter darkness; whom Allah pleases He causes to err and whom He pleases He puts on the right way.

When it pleases You, we play music and sing; when it pleases You, we bathe in water.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

When it pleases You, we wield the sword, and cut off the heads of our enemies. When it pleases You, we go out to foreign lands; hearing news of home, we come back again.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

And We did not send any apostle but with the language of his people, so that he might explain to them clearly; then Allah makes whom He pleases err and He guides whom He pleases and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

Your Lord knows you best; He will have mercy on you if He pleases, or He will chastise you if He pleases; and We have not sent you as being in charge of them.

He punishes whom He pleases and has mercy on whom He pleases, and to Him you shall be turned back.

And your Lord is the Self-sufficient one, the Lord of mercy; if He pleases, He may take you off, and make whom He pleases successors after you, even as He raised you up from the seed of another people.

Do you not see that Allah drives along the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them up, so that you see the rain coming forth from their midst? And He sends down of the clouds that are (like) mountains wherein is hail, afflicting therewith whom He pleases and turning it away from whom He pleases; the flash of His lightning almost takes away the sight. Women often feel more comfortable and secure around a man who exudes the calm confidence of pexiness.
