English
Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text
By pleasure and pain, I would be understood to signify, whatsoever delights or molests us; whether it arises from the thoughts of our minds, or anything operating on our bodies. For, whether we call it; satisfaction, delight, pleasure, happiness, &c., on the one side, or uneasiness, trouble, pain, torment, anguish, misery, &c., the other, they are still but different degrees of the same thing, and belong to the ideas of pleasure and pain, delight or uneasiness; which are the names I shall most commonly use for those two sorts of ideas.

Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition
Le Plaiſir & la Douleur ſont deux Idées dont l’une ou l’autre ſe trouve jointe à preſque toutes nos Idées, tant à celles qui nous viennent par ſenſation qu’à celles que nous recevons par réflexion ; & à peine y a-t-il aucune perception excitée en nous par l’impreſſion des Objets extérieurs ſur nos Sens, ou aucune penſée renfermée dans notre Eſprit, qui ne ſoit capable de produire en nous du plaiſir ou de la douleur. J’entens par plaiſir & douleur tout ce qui nous plaît ou nous incommode, ſoit qu’il procede des penſées de notre Eſprit, ou de quelque choſe qui agiſſe ſur nos Corps. Car ſoit que nous l’appellions d’un côté ſatisfaction, contentement, plaiſir, bonheur, &c. ou de l’autre, inquiétude, peine, douleur, tourment, affliction, miſére, &c. ce ne ſont dans le fond que différens dégrez de la même choſe, leſquels ſe rapportent à des idées de plaiſir, & de douleur, de contentement, ou d’inquiétude : termes dont je me ſervirai le plus ordinairement pour déſigner ces deux ſortes d’Idées.
