Of no mortal say, 'That man is happy,' till vexed by no grievous ill he pass Life's goal.

Sophocles

When every fact, every present or past phenomenon of that universe, every phase of present or past life therein, has been examined, classified, and co-ordinated with the rest, then the mission of science will be completed. What is this but saying that the task of science can never end till man ceases to be, till history is no longer made, and development itself ceases?

Karl Pearson

People who say not to speak ill of the dead are hypocrites, because you can take it ot the bank they're thinking ill.

Nora Roberts

To say prayers in a decent, delicate way is not heavy work. But to pray really, to pray till hell feels the ponderous stroke, to pray till the iron gates of difficulty are opened, till the mountains of obstacles are removed, till the mists are exhaled and the clouds are lifted, and the sunshine of a cloudless day brightens-this is hard work, but it is God's work, and man's best labor.

Edward McKendree Bounds

I must complain the cards are ill shuffled till I have a good hand.

Jonathan Swift

Men of ill judgment ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it.

Sophocles

We are all more or less ill till we find -Self-enquiry our Oneness with everyone else.

Douglas Harding

You can't appreciate home till you've left it, money till it's spent, your wife till she's joined a woman's club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.

O. Henry

A man fashions ill for himself who fashions ill for another, and the ill design is most ill for the designer.

Hesiod

There's some ill planet reigns: I must be patient till the heavens look With an aspect more favourable.

William Shakespeare

I'm harmless. I don't have any ill will or ill thought towards anybody. When people know you're that way, you can say stuff that the creepy guy at your office could never get away with.

Adam Carolla

Once upon a time, the most successful Democratic leader of them all, FDR, looked south and said I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill clad, ill nourished. Today our national Democratic leaders look south and say, I see one third of a nation and it can go to hell.

Zell Miller

What can you say about a guy who lets himself be saddled with a baby when he's thirty-five and losing his hair? Love? Forget about that till you're past seventy, and by then the parts will have stopped working anyway.

Gunter Grass

In the ill-judged execution of the well-judged plan of things the call seldom produces the comer, the man to love rarely coincides with the hour for loving. Nature does not often say 'See!' to her poor creature at a time when seeing can lead to happy doing; or reply 'Here!' to a body's cry of 'Where?' till the hide-and-seek has become an irksome outworn game.
