The man who does ill, ill must suffer too.

Aeschylus

The man who does ill must suffer ill.

Aeschylus

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

Hesiod

I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

It is as bad as bad can be: it is ill-fed, ill-killed, ill-kept, and ill-drest.

Samuel Johnson

Above all, we shall wage no more unilateral, ill-planned, ill-considered, and ill-prepared invasions of foreign countries that pose no actual threat to our security.

Theodore C. Sorensen

An ill agreement is better then a good judgement. [An ill agreement is better than a good judgment.]

George Herbert

Kitty: I thought your ladyship was ill. I wanted to help you. Lady deWinter: I ill? Do you take me for a weak woman? When I am insulted I do not feel ill - I avenge myself. Do you hear?

Alexandre Dumas

It costs more to doe ill then to doe well. [It costs more to do ill than to do well.]

George Herbert

Love affair. Doesn't that sound so middle-aged? And also ill-fated. Like ill-fated is an understood prefix to love affair. Well, ill-fated is fine, as long as it's a meaty and fraught ill-fated love affair, not a pale and insipid one.

Laini Taylor

Pride, ill nature, and want of sense are the three great sources of ill manners; without some one of these defects, no man will behave himself ill for want of experience, or what, in the language of fools, is called knowing the world.

Jonathan Swift

The good or ill hap of a good or ill life, is the good or ill choice of a good or ill wife.

Benjamin Franklin

I wanted to write about my disorders for people like my husband or mother who don't suffer but have saved people. Mentally ill people don't have a choice in who they are. But those that stand by the mentally ill make an enormous difference. Even when I'm healthy enough to take care of myself I face constant battles, especially with insurance companies.

Jenny Lawson

Hush! Check those words. Do not cure ill with ill and make your pain still heavier than it is.

Sophocles

I know some say, let us have good laws, and no matter for the men that execute them: but let them consider, that though good laws do well, good men do better: for good laws may want good men, and be abolished or evaded [invaded in Franklin's print] by ill men; but good men will never want good laws, nor suffer ill ones.
