A Quote by Edith Wharton

Half the trouble in life is caused by pretending there isn't any. — © Edith Wharton
Half the trouble in life is caused by pretending there isn't any.
You're all Buddhas, pretending not to be. You're all the Christ, pretending not to be. You're all Atman, pretending not to be. You're all love, pretending not to be. You're all one, pretending not to be. You're all Gurus, pretending not to be. You're all God, pretending not to be. When you're ready to stop pretending, then you're ready to just be the real you. That's your home.
If I had caused any trouble worth mentioning, you would have read about it in 'Star' magazine, which is probably why I didn't cause any trouble worth mentioning.
Pretending is not just play. Pretending is imagined possibility. Pretending, or acting, is a very valuable life skill and we do it all the time.
As I grew older, I came to feel more responsible for any hardship or trouble my career caused my family.
If we do not help a man in trouble, it is as if we caused the trouble.
People should always mind their own business. More trouble is caused in this world by interference than any other single thing.
There's always trouble in the Middle East. I can't recall any time in my life when there hasn't been trouble there.
If a birth is the fall-out from the explosion caused by the union of two unstable elements, then perhaps a half-life is all we can expect.
a lot of trouble has been caused by memoirs. Indiscreet revelations, that sort of thing. People who have been close as an oyster all their lives seem positively to relish causing trouble when they themselves shall be comfortably dead.
The purpose of faith isn't always to keep us from having trouble. It is often to carry us through trouble. If we never had any trouble, we wouldn't need any faith.
Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don't know which half.
Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half.
a trouble shared is a trouble half endured.
There's always the day where you do the effort noises, so there's a lot of grunts, huffing and puffing, pretending like you're hopping over things, pretending like you're getting hit, and pretending like you're kicking. If any of that was recorded, it's some of the silliest stuff I'll ever do, as an actor, but it's fun and liberating, in a way, 'cause no one can see me. I videotape myself doing it sometimes, to send to my friends just to remind us how ridiculous our jobs are.
It was the short men that caused all the trouble in the world.
Most of the trouble in this world has been caused by folks who can't mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to mind, any more than a smallpox virus has.
