“Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty.”
“They say though that we do more to avoid pain than we do to gain pleasure. So it is when the pain becomes too much that we finally find the courage to make changes.”
“It’s better to say something too little, than nothing too much.”
“Wise wretch! with pleasures too refined to please,With too much spirit to be e'er at ease,With too much quickness ever to be taught,With too much thinking to have common thought:You purchase pain with all that joy can give,And die of nothing but a rage to live.”
“Feeling too much is a hell of a lot better than feeling nothing.”
“Nothing spoils idle pleasure like too much awareness”
