Misery Quotes

Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be free, but one who feels no maliciousness pacifies those who hate. Hate brings misery to humanity so the wise man knows no hatred Picture Quote #1

It may seem to your conceited to suppose that you can do anything important toward improving the lot of mankind. But this is a fallacy. You must believe that you can help bring about a better world. A good society is produced only by good individuals, just as truly as a majority in a presidential election is produced by the votes of single electors. Everybody can do something toward creating in his own environment kindly feelings rather than anger, reasonableness rather than hysteria, happiness rather than misery Picture Quote #1

If suicide be supposed a crime, it is only cowardice can impel us to it. If it be no crime, both prudence and courage should engage us to rid ourselves at once of existence when it becomes a burden. It is the only way that we can then be useful to society, by setting an example which, if imitated, would preserve every one his chance for happiness in life, and would effectually free him from all danger or misery Picture Quote #1

Asked whether donor nations may be becoming fatigued... The fatigue may be there, but I don’t think we can justify it in the face of such misery. We may need to wake up our conscience and our conscience must force us to act Picture Quote #1

Charity puts and end to poverty; righteous conduct to misery; discretion to ignorance; and scrutiny to fear Picture Quote #1

Corruption is a major cause of poverty as well as a barrier to overcoming it,.. The two scourges feed off each other, locking their populations in a cycle of misery. Corruption must be vigorously addressed if aid is to make a real difference in freeing people from poverty Picture Quote #1

If we cannot meet our everyday surroundings with equanimity and pleasure and grow each day in some useful direction, then... life is on the road toward misfortune, misery and destruction Picture Quote #1

The vice of envy is not only a dangerous, but a mean vice; for it is always a confession of inferiority. It may promote conduct which will be fruitful of wrong to others, and it must cause misery to the man who feels it Picture Quote #1

Pain nourishes courage. You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you. Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional. Physical pain is a fact that comes with living, just as illness or financial woes or broken relationships are facts. But misery is a state of mind, a reaction to the facts, that can be controlled or altered by an act of will Picture Quote #1

We have found ways... to torture and maim animals and make their lives a misery, almost a living hell... in the multinational food industry,... and in laboratories where often the most important thing being researched is the latest in lipstick or face cream Picture Quote #1

If everyone would take only according to his needs and would leave the surplus to the needy, no one would be rich, no one poor, no one in misery Picture Quote #1

We must look deeply into the nature of our volition to see whether it is pushing us in the direction of liberation from suffering and toward peace and compassion, or in the direction of affliction and misery. What is it that we really want deep in our heart? Is it money, fame, power? Or is it finding inner peace, being able to live life fully and enjoy the present moment? Picture Quote #1

We must have friendship for all; we must be merciful toward those that are in misery; when people are happy, we ought to be happy; and to the wicked we must be indifferent. These attitudes will make the mind peaceful Picture Quote #1

I feel that music on the screen can seek out and intensify the inner thoughts of the characters. It can invest a scene with terror, grandeur, gaiety, or misery. It can propel narrative switftly forward, or slow it down. It often lifts mere dialogue into the realm of poetry. Finally, it is the communicating link between the screen and the audience, reaching out and enveloping all into one single experience Picture Quote #1

Let me tell you a little bit about demons. They love pain and other people’s misery. They lie when it suits them and don’t see anything wrong with it. They corrupt and kill and destroy, all without conscience. You just don’t have the capacity for something as honorable as loving another person Picture Quote #1

There is no misery in art. All art is about saying yes, and all art is about its own making Picture Quote #1

The sounds of many were unintelligible and undoubtedly many more called for their parents from whom they were parted by death or by accident. They grasped their tortured limbs, their tiny burning legs until they were no longer able to stand or run. And then they would crash to the ground where they would writhe in the bubbling tar until death released them from their physical misery Picture Quote #1

Human misery is so appalling nowadays that if we allowed ourselves to dwell on it we should only add imaginary miseries of our own to the real miseries of others without doing them any good Picture Quote #1

Here is a thing which the more you fear and avoid it the nearer you approach to it, and this is misery; the more you flee from it the more miserable and restless you will become Picture Quote #1

No man who believes that all is for the best in this suffering world can keep his ethical values unimpaired, since he is always having to find excuses for pain and misery Picture Quote #1

To be caught happy in a world of misery was for an honest man the most despicable of crimes Picture Quote #1

Misery which, through long ages, had no spokesman, no helper, will now be its own helper and speak for itself Picture Quote #1

Misery loves company, particularly when she is herself the hostess, and can give generously of her stores to others Picture Quote #1

On the spiritual path, all the dreck and misery is transformed, maybe not that same day, but still transformed into spiritual fuel or insight Picture Quote #1

We are born in this world to lose as well as to gain, to have happiness as well as misery. Enrich your mind by understanding this and improve, gaining stability thereby Picture Quote #1

We make very little progress when we strive to conquer baser instincts in a good mood. However, vast strides are possible when we are miserable and work with ourselves to replace our misery with joy and understanding Picture Quote #1

No one understands another’s grief, no one understands another’s joy... My music is the product of my talent and my misery. And that which I have written in my greatest distress is what the world seems to like best Picture Quote #1

I know a lot of ways to happiness! I also know some pretty fast shortcuts to misery Picture Quote #1

People love misery, they love to feel sorry for themselves, and they definitely don’t want to be enlightened. That’s the first thing they tell you at boot camp in the higher worlds Picture Quote #1

I am conscious that an equal division of property is impracticable, but the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property Picture Quote #1
