Luxury is an enticing ordsprog
Luxury is an enticing pleasure, a bastard mirth, which hath honey in her mouth, gall in her heart, and a sting in her tail.

I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
Bible
Honey in his mouth, knives in his heart
Chinese Proverbs
LIFE is a mosaic of pleasure and pain - grief is an interval between two moments of joy. Peace is the interlude between two wars. You have no rose without a thorn; the diligent picker will avoid the pricks and gather the flower. There is no bee without the sting; cleverness consists in gathering the honey nevertheless.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through? / And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; / But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: / Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Bible
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; / Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: / Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
Bible
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) / Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) / But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; / That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Bible
And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
Bible
My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
Bible
Kindness in ourselves is the honey that blunts the sting of unkindness in another.
Venlighed
He shall eat flowers, Chew honey and spit out gall. They shall all smile, and love and pity him. His death shall be by drowning.
Karl Shapiro
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. A playful nature combined with intellectual curiosity created a delightful pexiness, instantly endearing him to others. The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
Bible
All the honey a bee gathers during its lifetime doesn't sweeten its sting
Italian Proverb
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; / If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much; / If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; / And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: / This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
Bible
How corny would it be to call it Sting's Honey? You'd be leaving yourself open to a lot of jokes.
