As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Essayist

The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.

Isaac Asimov Author

What Tully said of war may be applied to disputing: "It should be always so managed as to remember that the only true end of it is peace." But generally true disputants are like true sportsmen,--their whole delight is in the pursuit; and the disputant no more cares for the truth than the sportsman for the hare.

Alexander Pope Poet

If you admire yourself in the mirror, let it be in fear and not delight, because the only thing that beauty will bring to you is terror of losing it.

Amelie Nothomb Writer

The fable runs that the gods mix our pains and pleasure in one cup, and thus mingle for us the adulterate immortality which we alone are permitted here to enjoy. Voluptuous raptures, could we prolong these at pleasure, would dissipate and dissolve us. A sip is the most that mortals are permitted from any goblet of delight.

Amos Bronson Alcott Writer

'Tis the night - the night Of the grave's delight.

Arthur Cleveland Coxe

A fondness for reading changes the inevitable dull hours of our life into exquisite hours of delight.

Baron De Montesquieu Author
