I have all I have ever enjoyed. [ Bettine ]
For never yet one hour in his bed
Have I enjoyed the golden dew of sleep,
But have been waked by his timorous dreams. [ William Shakespeare ]
These riches are possessed, but not enjoyed. [ Homer ]
Liberty must be limited in order to be enjoyed. [ Burke ]
Music is best enjoyed in the company of others. [ Hwuy Yung ]
Pleasures are enhanced that are sparingly enjoyed. [ Juv ]
I have enjoyed earthly happiness, I have lived and loved. [ Schiller ]
All things that are, are with more spirit chased than enjoyed. [ William Shakespeare ]
Leisure is seldom enjoyed with perfect satisfaction except in solitude. [ Zimmermann ]
Prosperities can only be enjoyed by those who fear not at all to lose them. [ Jeremy Taylor ]
Sleep, riches, and health are only truly enjoyed after they have been interrupted. [ Richter ]
Hope is the thing most universally enjoyed; for they have it who have nothing else. [ Epictetus ]
Human life is everywhere a state in which much is to be endured, and little enjoyed. [ Johnson ]
What would we not give to still have in store the first blissful moment we ever enjoyed! [ Rochepedre ]

Liberty will not descend to a people, a people must raise themselves to liberty; it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed. That nation cannot be free, where reform is a common hack, that is dismissed with a kick the moment it has brought its rider to his place. [ Colton ]
The education which has, however, made me a writer has been a living one. I have not only read much, I have seen much, and enjoyed much, and, above all, I have sorrowed much. God has put into my hands every cup of life, sweet and bitter, and the bitter has often become sweet, and the sweet bitter. [ Amelia E. Barr, The Art of Authorship, 1891 ]
The maxim of Cleobulus, Mediocrity is best,
has been long considered a universal principle, extending through the whole compass of life and nature. The experience of every age seems to have given it new confirmation, and to show that nothing, however specious or alluring, is pursued with propriety or enjoyed with safety beyond certain limits. [ Dr. Johnson ]
There is this difference between those two temporal blessings, health and money: Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed; health is the most enjoyed, but the least envied: and this superiority of the latter is still more obvious when we reflect that the poorest man would not part with health for money, but that the richest would gladly part with all their money for heath. [ Colton ]
