Pleasing

Famous quotes containing the word pleasing:

    If fancy then
    Unequal fails beneath the pleasing task,
    Ah, what shall language do?
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

    The happiest conversation is that of which nothing is distinctly remembered but a general effect of pleasing impression.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    I look on it as no trifling effort of female strength to withstand the artful and ardent solicitations of a man that is thoroughly master of our hearts. Should we in the conflict come off victorious, it hardly pays us for the pain we suffer from the experiment ... and I still persist in it that such a behaviour in any man I love would rob me of that most pleasing thought, namely, the obligation I have to him for not making such a trial.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
