Great eagerness in the ordsprog

Great eagerness in the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, or honor, cannot exist without sin

Desiderius Erasmus (1469-1536)

Desiderius Erasmus

Lies are essential to humanity. They are perhaps as important as the pursuit of pleasure and moreover are dictated by that pursuit.

Marcel Proust (1871-1922)

The rub is that the pursuit of happiness, as an end in itself, tends automatically, and widely, to be replaced by the pursuit of pleasure with a consequent general softening of the fibers of will, intelligence, spirit.

Whittaker Chambers (1901-)

Here at Florida State I can assure you that, for these kids anyway, happiness is essentially a hedonistic search for intense pleasure. It's 'Girls Gone Wild' and Spring Break madness. But from everything we've learned about life, the pursuit of hedonism and pleasure for pleasure's sake won't make us happy.

Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.

Holland is a country, where the earth is better than the air, and profit more in request than honor; where there is more sense than wit; more good nature than good humor; and more wealth than pleasure; where a man would choose rather to travel than t

Sport inevitably creates deadness of feeling. No one could take pleasure in it who was sensitive to suffering; and therefore its pursuit by women is much more to be regretted than its pursuit by men, because women pursue much more violently and recklessly what they pursue at all.

In all worldly things that a man pursues with the greatest eagerness and intention of mind imaginable, he finds not half the pleasure in the actual possession of them, as he proposed to himself in the expectation.

I have bowled my entire life and gained great pleasure and enjoyment from the sport. This is a tremendous honor.

Money and mansions are not the only wealth. Hoard the wealth of the Spirit. Character is wealth; good conduct is wealth; and spiritual wisdom is wealth.

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you.

Frank Zappa (1940-1993)

If by leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise man leave the small pleasure, and look to the great.

Friedrich Max Muller

Rikedom som inte används lika gärna kunde inte existera.

Wealth unused might as well not exist.
