Depend upon it that if a man talks of his misfortunes there is something in them that is not disagreeable to him; for where there is nothing but pure misery there never is any recourse to the mention of it.
Samuel Johnson
It is a struggle for the minds of the people... No cause justifies recourse to terrorism.
Manmohan Singh
Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history.
Octavio Paz
Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.
Baltasar Gracian
Progress will always have as its recourse to exaggerate what it cannot surpass.
Franz Grillparzer

Lord Chesterfield

E. Howard Hunt
