A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
快乐
Pleasure
Love consists in giving without getting in return; in giving what is not owed, what is not due the other. That's why true love is never based, as associations for utility or pleasure are, on a fair exchange.
爱在于付出而不求回报;给予别人不欠别人的，别人也不欠你的。这就是为什么真爱从来就不是建立在公平交换的基础上的，就像功利或快乐的联想一样。
The goal towards which the pleasure principle impels us - of becoming happy - is not attainable: yet we may not - nay, cannot - give up the efforts to come nearer to realization of it by some means or other.
快乐原则所驱使我们达到的目标——变得快乐——是不可能实现的。然而，我们可能不会——不，不可能——放弃通过某种方式接近实现快乐的努力。
Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed
凡是新奇的或不寻常的东西，都能在想象中引起一种愉快，因为它能使心灵充满一种愉快的惊奇，满足它的好奇心，使它产生一种以前不曾有过的想法
Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don't collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything.

The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors.
事实是，我们可以学会调整我们的思想、身体和情感，把痛苦或快乐与我们所选择的联系起来。通过改变我们把痛苦和快乐联系在一起的东西，我们会立即改变我们的行为。
This was the first day of our beginning to take up plants: we had much pleasure in collecting them for the natives offered their assistance and perfectly understood the method of taking them up and pruning them.

Our fates are in the hands of An Almighty God, to whom I can with pleasure confide my own; he can save us, or destroy us; his Councils are fixed and cannot be disappointed, and all his designs will be Accomplished.

I find it an absolute pleasure to read travel guides, especially the Michelin guides, and their description of places I know I'll probably never visit. I spend a large part of my life reading descriptions of restaurants.

My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.

The Pleasure Seekers eventually turned into Cradle, when we started writing our own material. My younger sister Nancy was brought in as singer and I kind of stepped aside as main lead singer and concentrated on my instrument.

What is called a high standard of living consists, in considerable measure, in arrangements for avoiding muscular energy, for increasing sensual pleasure and enhancing caloric intake above any conceivable nutritional requirement.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
In a perfect world, I only act when I really want to. I don't do most of the stuff that is out there, but it's a joy and a pleasure to do anything that promotes this higher power - this light, if you will. I just think there aren't enough projects in the world that do that.
在一个完美的世界里，我只会在我真正想做的时候去做。我不做外面的大部分事情，但做任何能提升这种更高力量的事情，都是一种快乐和愉悦——如果你愿意，也可以说是这种光。我只是认为世界上没有足够的项目可以做到这一点。
For the rational, psychologically healthy man, the desire for pleasure is the desire to celebrate his control over reality. For the neurotic, the desire for pleasure is the desire to escape from reality.
