Choose a letter: 
Earth's dispossessed are vulnerable targets for extremists: those who teach that global justice is meaningless; that satisfaction can come only in violence, division, and intellectual isolation.
Abdallah II, -
To be able to look back upon one's past life with satisfaction is to live twice.
Lord Acton, British Historian (1834-1902)
Life is so fresh, life is every day so new if we are fighting, only for the best. Sometimes I think the only real satisfaction in life is failure, failure in your endeavor to do your best.
Maude Adams, American Actress (1872-1953)
The ultimate end of education is happiness or a good human life, a life enriched by the possession of every kind of good, by the enjoyment of every type of satisfaction.

I made my choice to be in Ferrari. It is not easy because it is important for a man to have satisfaction. And for me to get the satisfaction I want means getting results.
Jean Alesi, French Celebrity (1964-  )
It's better to be hurt by the truth than to gain satisfaction from the lies.
David Allan, Scottish Artist (1744-1796)
Feminism is sort of like God. Many people profess to believe in it, but no one seems to be able to define it to everyone's satisfaction.
Aaron Allston, American Novelist
Collecting is my joy; it gives me great satisfaction.
Ursula Andress, Swiss Actress (1936-  )
The lovers of romance can go elsewhere for satisfaction but where can the lovers of truth turn if not to history?

Three conditions are necessary for Penance: contrition, which is sorrow for sin, together with a purpose of amendment; confession of sins without any omission; and satisfaction by means of good works.
Thomas Aquinas, Italian Theologian
Even among the married, sexual satisfaction must not be sought in a way which disregards man's character as a person and degrades him to the animal level.
Francis Arinze, Nigerian Clergyman (1932-  )
Woman is fine for her own satisfaction alone. No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her the better for it. Neatness and fashion are enough for the former, and a something of shabbiness or impropriety will be most endearing to the latter.
Jane Austen, British Writer (1775-1817)
But I owe it to the subject to say, that it has long afforded me what philosophy is so often thought, and made, barren of - the fun of discovery, the pleasures of co-operation, and the satisfaction of reaching agreement.
J. L. Austin, English Philosopher (1911-1960)
I believe it is an important project, it makes the cost of doing business lower and they will make us more competitive at the same time, it will also provide some satisfaction to the people who demand services for them of the quality they want and also quickly.
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Politician (1939-  )
Look at Christ, my dear friend: His life was divine through and through, full of self-denial, and He did everything for mankind, finding His satisfaction and His delight in the dissolution of His material being.
Mikhail Bakunin, Russian Revolutionary (1814-1876)
There are countless studies on the negative spillover of job pressures on family life, but few on how job satisfaction enhances the quality of family life.
Albert Bandura, Canadian Psychologist (1925-  )
That in affairs of very considerable importance men should deal with one another with satisfaction of mind, and mutual confidence, they must receive competent assurances concerning the integrity, fidelity, and constancy each of other.
Isaac Barrow, English Mathematician
Even in the centuries which appear to us to be the most monstrous and foolish, the immortal appetite for beauty has always found satisfaction.
Charles Baudelaire, French Poet (1821-1867)
A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise, provided it smacks of jealousy.
Jean Baudrillard, French Sociologist (1929-2007)
Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.
Arnold Bennett, English Novelist (1867-1931)
