No one can usurp the heights... But those to whom the miseries of the world Are misery, and will not let them rest.
John Keats
Image
Such are the Splendors and Miseries of memory: it is proud of its ability to keep truthful track of the logical sequence of past events but when it comes to how we experienced them at the time, memory feels no obligation to truth.
Milan Kundera
Image
Our worst misfortunes never happen, and most miseries lie in anticipation.
Honore de Balzac
Image
It is senseless to blame others or your environment for your miseries. Change begins from the moment you muster the courage to act. When you change, the environment will change. The power to change the world is found nowhere but within our own life.
Daisaku Ikeda
Image
So many miseries have craz'd my voice, That my woe-wearied tongue is still and mute.
William Shakespeare
Image
Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable.
Samuel Johnson

For at least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols
Aldous Huxley
Image
When we bless God for mercies, we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them. Praise is the honey of life which a devout heart extracts from every bloom of providence and grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You are mine. I recognize you. We twist our souls around each other's miseries. It is that which makes us family.
Anthony Marra
Image
Life is so full of miseries, minor and major they press so close upon us at every step of the way, that it is hardly worthwhile to call one another's attention to their presence.
Agnes Repplier
Image
If the religious spirit be ever mentioned in any historical narration, we are sure to meet afterwards with a detail of the miseries which attend it. And no period of time can be happier or more prosperous, than those in which it is never regarded or heard of.
David Hume
Image
Marriage enlarges the scene of our happiness and miseries. A marriage of love is pleasant a marriage of interest, easy and a marriage where both meet, happy. A happy marriage has in it all the pleasures of friendship, all the enjoyments of sense and reason, and, indeed, all the sweets of life.
Joseph Addison
Image
My miseries have always come out of my own flesh, never from any burden Jesus has laid on me.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
The blindness of men is the most dangerous effect of their pride it seems to nourish and augment it it deprives them of knowledge of remedies which can solace their miseries and can cure their faults.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Births and deaths are inevitable for man only during the state of ignorance in which he thinks he is the body and cannot exist without it. Only the man who will not seek the awakening of wisdom must suffer the nightmares and delusive dreams of births and deaths and the fanciful miseries and limitations attending them. (gt)
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Wealth makes an ugly person beautiful to look on and an incoherent speech eloquent and wealth alone can enjoy pleasure even in sickness and can conceal its miseries.
Sophocles
Image
I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries. Then arrange in lines of two, three or four words each, don't bother about sentences, in sections of two, three or four lines each.
Allen Ginsberg
Image
Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant.
Oscar Niemeyer

This is a sharp medicine, but it is a physician for all diseases and miseries.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Indulgence in resentment and vengeance will only further increase miseries to oneself and others in this life and in lives to come.
Dalai Lama
Image
Make peace with silence, and remind yourself that it is in this space that you'll come to remember your spirit. When you're able to transcend an aversion to silence, you'll also transcend many other miseries. And it is in this silence that the remembrance of God will be activated.
Wayne Dyer
Image
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
