Every one of our passions and affections hath its natural stint and bound, which may easily be exceeded; whereas our enjoyments can possibly be but in a determinate measure and degree.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The enjoyment we get from something is powerfully influenced by what we think that thing really is. This is true for intellectual pleasures, such as the appreciation of paintings and stories, and it is true as well for pleasures that seem simpler and more animalistic, such as the satisfaction of hunger and lust.
Enjoyment is an incredible energizer to the human spirit.
Happiness or satisfaction consists only in the enjoyment of those objects which are by nature suited to our several particular appetites, passions, and affections.
We measure our enjoyments by the sum expended.
Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.
What we are only now beginning to fully realize is that in seeking material pleasure too constantly, the capacity for enjoyment or fulfillment decreases and eventually becomes exhausted.
I have always said and felt that true enjoyment can not be described.
Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is vanity, and power a pageant; but knowledge is ecstatic in enjoyment, perennial in frame, unlimited in space and indefinite in duration.
Enjoyment is not a goal, it is a feeling that accompanies important ongoing activity.
True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united.
