Misery Quotations
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
The second office in the government is honorable and easy; the first is but a splendid misery.
Thomas Jefferson
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
C. S. Lewis
If misery loves company, misery has company enough.
Henry David Thoreau
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
Eleanor Roosevelt
He who has not the spirit of this age, has all the misery of it.
Voltaire
I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
Martha Washington
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Woody Allen
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
Saint Augustine
To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.
Albert Camus
