Misery is caused for the most part, not by a heavy crush of disaster, but by the corrosion of less visible evils, which canker enjoyment, and undermine security. The visit of an invader is necessarily rare, but domestic animosities allow no cessation.
Samuel Johnson
Image
Misery is not given by anyone or anything in life. It is your own mind which makes you miserable or happy and uplifted.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Image
Misery loves another idiot with a jukebox where his soul should be.
Steve Almond
Image
Misery, anger, indignation, discomfort-those conditions produce literature. Contentment-never. So there you are.
T. E. Lawrence
Image
Misery, in cold truth, is a weight less upon those who undergo it than upon the minds of those who see it for he who is cold and starving is so busy in his efforts to obtain warmth and food that he has little time for self-pity, and endures his unhappy condition better than those who take it upon themselves to suffer for him.
Kenneth Roberts

Joseph Addison
Image
Misery is almost always the result of thinking.
Joseph Joubert

Misery's fine - as long as you know you can get out of it when you want to.
Arthur Adamov
Image
Misery is evil quarreling, a misfortune. There is only one possibility of avoiding both: a clear division of society. [Otherwise] the strong tyrannize the weak, the intelligent frighten the stupid, the inferior resist the superior, and the young mock the old.
Xunzi
Image
Misery still delights to trace Its semblance in another's case.
William Cowper
Image
Misery is nothing but the shadow of attachment. And hence all stagnancy. The attached person becomes a stagnant pool - sooner or later he will stink. He flows no more.
Rajneesh
Image
Misery doesn't only love company. It demands it. For this reason, don't walk away from negative people. RUN!
Ernie J Zelinski
Image
Misery is the end of those with unbridled mouths.
Euripides
Image
Misery needs your conspiracy it needs your help. Without your resistance misery cannot survive.
Adyashanti
Image
Misery, depression, elation all mine, refine confinement all my design.
Henry Rollins
Image
Misery colored by the greens and blues in my mother's voice took away all the grief out of the words and left me with a conviction that pain was not only endurable, it was sweet.
Toni Morrison
Image
Misery starts with a person's reactions to someone or something outside of his or herself. In truth, it is not the event or situation or what others are saying or doing that is the problem it's our reaction that is triggered by what we believe these words and events mean.
Terry Cole-Whittaker
Image
Misery is when you heard on the radio that the neighborhood you live in is a slum but you always thought it was home.
