Long Woes

Quote Author

Homer
Greek - Poet

Woes cluster. Rare are solitary woes; They love a train, they tread each other's heel.

Edward Young

I grew up in a super suburban place where the mundane middle-class issues were similar to what Ray Davies was singing about. All the topics he was singing about were middle-class woes and humanitarian woes - human-being woes.

Ty Segall

The long historian of my country's woes.

Homer

Too oft is transient pleasure the source of long woes.

Christoph Martin Wieland

The many woes that afflict out nation are rooted in the morally bankrupt paradigms of socialism, interventionism, and empire that have held our nation in their grip for decades and that the only real solution to such woes is libertarianism.

Jacob G. Hornberger

Power exercised with violence has seldom been of long duration.

Seneca the Younger

The proselytisers for man-made global warming have long exercised a tight stranglehold over the contents of Wikipedia.

Christopher Booker

When I was younger, I could eat whatever I wanted, as long as I exercised; or if I didn't exercise and just watched what I ate, I'd maintain. Now I have to do both.

Michelle Obama

I know of few men over 50 that seem to me entirely human, virtually none who has long exercised authority.

Patrick O'Brian

It is seldom that minds long exercised in business have formed any habits of conversing with themselves, and in the loss of power they principally regret the want of occupation.

Edward Gibbon

Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward, an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of a negative, by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction. The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is fear.

Ayn Rand

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.

Buddha

For all of the woes besetting our business, I believe with all my heart that newspapers - whether they are distributed to your doorstep, your laptop, your iPhone or a chip implanted in your cerebral cortex - will be around for a long time.

Bill Keller

Tolerance can be exercised only by those who have well-grounded convictions (although it will not always be exercised even by them). For such people tolerance is an act of self-abnegation; although they are convinced that those who differ from them must be wrong, they nevertheless will protect their rights.

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Unless the people can choose their leaders and rulers, and can revoke their choice at intervals long enough to test their measuresby results, the government will be a tyranny exercised in the interests of whatever classes or castes or mobs or cliques have this choice.

George Bernard Shaw

You may wonder why a question of manners has got me so exercised. It's because I believe in a simple rule. If you see a person you know behave unreasonably to someone else, you can bet your last pound that before long he'll be behaving like that to you.

Daniel Finkelstein
