Pleasure bought with pain does harm
In diving to the bottom of pleasure we bring up more gravel than pearls
It is a clear gain to sacrifice pleasure in order to avoid pain
The highest, most varied and lasting pleasures are those of the mind

Never to blend our pleasure or our pride
With sorrow of the meanest thing that feels.
