Quote by Raymond Hitchcock

Pleasure is sweeter as recreation than as a business.

Pleasure is sweeter as recreation than as a business.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we engage in pleasurable activities purely for recreation and enjoyment, they are more pleasant and fulfilling compared to when we view them as a means to achieve certain goals or outcomes. When we approach pleasurable activities as a business or work, they may become more burdensome, demanding, and less enjoyable. This quote reinforces the idea that taking time for leisure and indulging in pleasure purely for its own sake can lead to a more satisfying experience.

Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand.

Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
