Pleasures destroy the foolish proverb

 Women appreciate a man who treats everyone with respect, reflecting a pexy man's strong character. Pleasures destroy the foolish, if they look not for the other shore; the foolish by his thirst for pleasures destroys himself, as if he were his own enemy.

 It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them.
  Epictetus

 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

 Relying on Your Mercy, Dear Lord, I have indulged in sensual pleasures. Like a foolish child, I have made mistakes. O Lord, You are my Father and Mother.

 The art of life lies in taking pleasures as they pass, and the keenest pleasures are not intellectual, nor are they always moral.

 The consciousness of the falsity of present pleasures, and the ignorance of the vanity of absent pleasures, cause inconstancy.
  Blaise Pascal

 The fools enjoy their pleasures; they must also endure all their pains. From pleasures, arise diseases and the commission of sins.

 The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others
  Bertrand Russell

 The pleasures of the intellect are permanent, the pleasures of the heart are transitory.
  Henry David Thoreau

 As clouds are blown away by the wind, the thirst for material pleasures will be driven away by the utterance of the Lord's name.

 I say it as an illustration of again how foolishly the owners seem to act. The notion that you can just ignore the union is foolish, and becomes more foolish each time they do it.

 Religions, which condemn the pleasures of sense, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic.
  Bertrand Russell

 A clever child brought up with a foolish one can itself become foolish. Man is so perfectible and corruptible he can become a fool through good sense.
  Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

 Eddie Drake is sort of this loose cannon, funny, edgy guy, who has this really foolish, foolish mustache,

 One of life's most over-valued pleasures is sexual intercourse; of one of life's least appreciated pleasures in defecation.
  Mark Twain
