PLEASURES

快樂
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.

Aristotle

在快樂離開時好好思想，而不是在快樂來臨時思想。（免得樂昏了頭。）
'Pleasure' and 'joy' not only are not synonymous, but may be as profoundly different as heaven and hell.

Sidney J. Harris

「快樂」與「喜樂」不僅不是同意字，兩者意思的差別可能如同天堂與地獄一般。
The Christian tastes God in all his pleasures.

J. I. Packer

基督徒在他一切快樂中體會上帝。
That this world is a playground instead of a battle field has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of fundamentalist Christians.

A. W. Tozer

認為世界是遊樂場所而不是戰場的觀念，現在已能被大部分的傳統基督徒接受。
Soft pleasures harden the heart.

Thomas Watson

輕易得到的樂趣能剛硬人心。
What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

不用費心的著作，讀起來沒甚麼樂趣可言。
A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

一個十分輕易得到的樂趣，就是能和丈夫一起共用早餐，可是多麼少的夫婦能在一生之中得到這樣的樂趣。
That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.

Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

最富有的人，他們的樂趣卻是何等低廉。
Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it.

Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)

不要輕易咬喜樂的餌，除非你確定底下沒有魚鉤。
To make pleasures pleasant, shorten them.

Charles Buxton

想要讓樂趣更能怡人，那就縮短它。
The greatest and noblest pleasure which men can have in this world is to discover new truths; and the next is to shake off old prejudices.

Frederick The Great

世人能夠擁有的最大、最高貴的喜樂就是發先真理；其次就是揚棄舊成見。
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu

再沒有比閱讀更廉價的娛樂，也沒有任何樂趣比它更持久。
Sinful and forbidden pleasures are like poisoned bread; they may satisfy appetite for the moment, but there is death in them at the end.

Tyron Edwards

罪惡及禁止的樂趣如同下了毒的麵包；它們能夠片刻滿足你的胃口，至終卻帶來死亡。
There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.

Ovid

沒有所謂純淨的樂趣；總會多少帶著些許焦慮。
