Half of the ills we hoard within our hearts Are ills because we hoard them.

The body's ills are the least of ills, for they end only in death, which is but a little thing. But if the spirit dies, then all is lost.

Michael Flynn

The extent of poverty in the world is much exaggerated. Our sensitiveness makes half our poverty; our fears--anxieties for ills that never happen--a greater part of the other half.

Christian Nestell Bovee

The incurable ills are the imaginary ills.

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

Philosophy easily triumphs over past and future ills; but present ills triumph over philosophy.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

One-half of the ills of life come because men are unwilling to sit down quietly for thirty minutes to think through all the possible consequences of their acts.

Blaise Pascal

To feel our ills is one thing, but to cure them is another.

Ovid

Salvation for our educational ills... will have to come from within an educational community willing to say we have met the enemy and it is us.

Seymour Sarason

Why, since we are always complaining of our ills, are we constantly employed in redoubling them?

Voltaire

What's interesting about young black American artists within the twentieth century, and increasingly within the twenty-first as well, is that there's this expectation of a political corrective that demands that the artist fixes the ills of the world.

Kehinde Wiley

All ills spring from some vice, either in ourselves or others; and even many of our diseases proceed from the same origin. Remove the vices; and the ills follow. You must only take care to remove all the vices. If you remove part, you may render the matter worse. By banishing vicious luxury, without curing sloth and an indifference to others, you only diminish industry in the state, and add nothing to men's charity or their generosity.

David Hume

In a true democracy is the cure for most of our social and political ills, but a few of them must remain to keep us going.

Ameen Rihani

Nearly all our ills are the result of neglect in some way or other. And this truth may be said to apply to the ills of nations as well. Negligence is at the bottom of all decay. And decay always starts by showing little signs-or warnings. Then is the time to show interest and to be alert. There is nothing quite so easy as to neglect, and nothing quite so difficult as to repair that negligence. Negligence always carries a high price. It costs nothing to avoid it!

George Matthew Adams

Curing environmental ills requires not a stance outside nature, but a stance within nature, a role not as onlooker without, but as an actor within.

Valerius Geist

The universe forgives those who give until their hearts are aching and their spirits weak, and finds a way to renew all strength and cure all ills, in this world or the next, if a soul can just have faith.
