Pictures and shapes are but secondary objects and please or displease only in the memory. Francis Bacon

Pictures and shapes are but secondary objects and please or displease only in the memory.

Francis Bacon

In the adversity of our best friends we often find something that does not displease us.

Brigham Young

There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our friends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please, that is, as they please or displease us.

William Hazlitt

Some people displease with merit, and others' very faults and defects are pleasing.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

William J. H. Boetcker

Although at the time I didn't realize what was happening, I was unable to make a decision that might displease those around me. For years, whatever directive I may have issued ended with the phrase, 'If it's all right with you.' If I thought I'd done anything to make someone unhappy, I'd agonize.

Katharine Graham
