Pleasure (4)



He buys his pleasures too dear who pays for them with the loss of his soul.
Luxury is living in pleasure. God allows us to use pleasures, but not to live in them; to take delights, but not that they should take us. To live always at the full is but a wanton luxury.
Pleasures are like a substance in the pursuit, but clouds in the enjoyment. Pleasure is a beautiful harlot sitting in her chariot whose four wheels are pride, gluttony, lust, and idleness; the two horses are prosperity and abundance; the two drivers are idleness and security; her attendants and followers are guilt, grief, late repentance (if any), and oft death and ruin.
