Woes and wonders of power, that tonic hell, synthesis of poison and panacea.
Emile M. Cioran
Image
Woes cluster. Rare are solitary woes They love a train, they tread each other's heel.
Edward Young
Image
Conversation augments pleasure and diminishes pain by our having shares in either for silent woes are greatest, as silent satisfaction leas since sometimes our pleasure would be none but for telling of it, and our grief insupportable but for participation.
William Wycherley
Image
Those who die, merely suffering the woes of life like cats and dogs, are they men?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all other woes of mankind, is wisdom. Teach a man to read and write, and you have put into his hands the great keys of the wisdom box. But it is quite another thing to open the box.
Thomas Huxley
Image
Let the credulous and the vulgar continue to believe that all mental woes can be cured by a daily application of old Greek myths to their private parts.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Life is a waste of woes, And Death a river deep, That ever onward flows, Troubled, yet asleep.
William Batchelder Greene
Image
If there were reason for these miseries, then into limits could I bind my woes. If the winds rages, doth not the sea wax mad, threat'ning the welkin with its big-swoll'n face? And wilt though have a reason for this coil? I am the sea. Hark how her sighs doth blow. She is the weeping welkin, I the earth.
William Shakespeare
Image
Yet this my comfort: when your words are done, My woes end likewise with the evening sun.
William Shakespeare
Image
Wise men ne'er sit and wail their woes, but presently prevent the ways to wail.
William Shakespeare
Image
Why are our joys remembered more bitter than our woes?
Marceline Desbordes-Valmore
Image
When one with honeyed words but evil mind Persuades the mob, great woes befall the state.
Euripides
Image
Here is a pen and here is a pencil, here's a typewriter, here's a stencil, here's a list of today's appointments, and all the flies in all the ointments, the daily woes that a man endures -- take them, George, they're yours!
Ogden Nash
Image
Sometimes the best cure for life’s woes is a sense of humor.
Frank K. Sonnenberg
Image
In recounting our woes, we often soothe them.
Pierre Corneille
Image
Rather I'd choose laboriously to bear A weight of woes, and breathe the vital air, A slave to some poor hind that toils for bread, Than reign the sceptred monarch of the dead.
Homer
Image
In all their jollity in this world, the wicked are but as a book fairly bound, which when it is opened is full of nothing but tragedies. So when the book of their consciences shall be once opened, there is nothing to be read but lamentations and woes.
Richard Sibbes
Image
The long historian of my country's woes.
Homer
Image
Love is a sickness full of woes, all remedies refusing.
Samuel Daniel
Image
Long exercised in woes.
Homer
Image
If the guardian or the mother Tell the woes of willful waste, Scorn their counsel and their pother, You can hang or drown at last.
Samuel Johnson
Image
People are more open about seeking help these days. They recognise the fact that the alternative to having a shrink is that you bore your friends stupid. So I figured that I might as well give someone 100 bucks an hour to hear my woes. At least someone can make a living out of listening to my tedious problems.
Hugh Laurie
Image
It becomes one, while exempt from woes, to look to the dangers.
Sophocles
Image
Not suffering, but faint heart, is worst of woes.
James Russell Lowell
