Gilbert K. Chesterton Quotes

There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.

When you have a flaming hot donut in your hand and your trying to eat it your not worried about 10 and 2

Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word 'satiety.'

In everything, satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures.

If one oversteps the bounds of moderation, the greatest pleasures cease to please.

Massages are my favorite. Sometimes just getting myself outside for a walk if I'm really busy can be an indulgence. I love taking naps. I love to stay up too late with close friends. I believe in everything in moderation. I take what I like and leave what I don't.

I don't believe in depriving yourself of things you want.

As far as pleasures, you've got to have limits. You shouldn't have too much of good things, so you'll always have a desire for more and you won't get bored.

No sane man can afford to dispense with debilitating pleasures; no ascetic can be considered reliably sane.

Sex is like money; only too much is enough.

Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.

I'm an all-things-in-moderation kind of person. I do eat a warm donut occasionally. I especially enjoy a cider donut when I'm apple picking. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

At the end of the day, I let myself have a glass of wine.

I like clothes. And I think it's OK to think about clothes just so long as you also think about other things. I'm not interested in clothes to the point where they'll push other things out of my mind; I just see them as a way of expressing yourself, and a pleasure, really.

If I'm going to get an ice cream cone two or three times a week, then it's a pleasure. No guilt.

Life is all about balance, and there are certain times of the year - birthday, anniversary, holidays - that are meant to be enjoyed without guilt. That being said, Thanksgiving is a meal - it's not a Thanksgiving day, and it's not a Thanksgiving week.

Just because I work out and eat healthy doesn't mean I don't let myself have fun.

Will I still get a slice of pizza? Will I drink a beer or two? Absolutely. You still have to live, but I try to do things in moderation.

I just love switching stuff off and going for a run, or sitting down and eating cake.

I don't believe in depriving myself; it's an unhealthy state of mind.

Constant deprivation is no way to live. Don't always skip the delicious stuff for raw carrots and brown rice.
