All their sport in proverb

 All their sport in the park is but a shadow to that pleasure that I find in Plato; alas good folk, they never felt what true pleasure meant.

 There is probably no pleasure equal to the pleasure of climbing a dangerous Alp; but it is a pleasure which is confined strictly to people who can find pleasure in it
  Mark Twain

 The inferior creatures groan under your cruelties. You hunt them for your pleasure, and overwork them for your covetousness, and kill them for your gluttony, and set them to fight one with another till they die, and count it a sport and a pleasure to behold them worry one another.

 Pleasure for one hour, a bottle of wine. Pleasure for one year a marriage; but pleasure for a lifetime, a garden.

 Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain
  Robert Browning

 Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.
  Pierre Bonnard

 Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.
  John Henry Newman

 Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.

 It is a pleasure to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tost upon the sea: a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth.
  Francis Bacon, Sr.

 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.

 The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure
  Francoise de Motteville

 The average man does not get pleasure out of an idea because he thinks it is true; he thinks it is true because he gets pleasure out of it
  Henry Louis Mencken

 When I recall these days my schoolboy days, I cannot but express my deepest regret that I made such little improvement in them. Pleasure was all there engrossed my thoughts; fleeting pleasure that is ever presenting herself in some fresh garb to allure and deceive us-drawing us away from the true House of happiness and real enjoyment.

 Satiety comes of too frequent repetition; and he who will not give himself leisure to be thirsty can never find the true pleasure of drinking
  Michel de Montaigne

 Marred pleasure's best, shadow makes the sun strong.
