Bhagavad Gita 5.22 — Fleeting pleasures

ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दुःखयोनय एव ते। आद्यन्तवन्तः कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुधः ॥

ye hi saṃsparśajā bhogā duḥkhayonaya eva te | ādyantavantaḥ kaunteya na teṣu ramate budhaḥ ||

Meaning

Pleasures born of sense contact are sources of sorrow, for they have a beginning and an end. The wise do not delight in them, Arjuna.
