The first thing we become convinced of is that man is organized so as to be far more sensible of pain than of pleasure.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A man of pleasure is a man of pains.
Man is not constituted to take pleasure in the same things always.
The only pain in pleasure is the pleasure of the pain.
Pain has its reasons, pleasure is totally indifferent.
Only when the sense of the pain of others begins does man begin.
It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.
Pleasure and freedom from pain, are the only things desirable as ends.
Pleasure is nothing else but the intermission of pain.
Pain adds rest unto pleasure, and teaches the luxury of health.
We are certainly in a common class with the beasts; every action of animal life is concerned with seeking bodily pleasure and avoiding pain.
