Sorrows when shared are less burdensome, though joys divided are increased.

Bill Vaughan

Catalan society is divided. There's one bloc - which isn't a majority - that backs pro-independence parties. But there's also a bloc that doesn't, which favours the current state, the statute of autonomy, and either increased decentralisation or even increased recentralisation.

Pedro Sanchez

More and more people are becoming aware that government has nothing to give them without first taking it away from somebody else-or from themselves. Increased handouts to selected groups mean merely increased taxes, or increased deficits and increased inflation.

Henry Hazlitt

I feel like we'll forever live in a country that's divided... Divided by race... Divided by love and hate.

Raheem DeVaughn

Man is still by instinct a predatory animal given to devilish aggression. The discoveries of science have immensely increased productivity of material things. They have increased the standards of living and comfort. They have eliminated infinite drudgery. They have increased leisure. But that gives more time for devilment. The work of science has eliminated much disease and suffering. It has increased the length of life. That, together with increase in productivity, has resulted in vastly increased populations. Also it increased the number of people engaged in devilment.

Herbert Hoover

We cannot be a house divided - divided in will, divided in interest, divided in soul. We cannot be a house divided and live.

Stephen Vincent Benet

Brexit has divided the country. It has divided political parties. And it has divided families too.

Jo Johnson

Kim Reynolds

America is a divided country; we have always been a divided country, but even more divided now, thanks to Trump and a lot of other things, as well.

Michael Kazin

The good parts about being a public company are increased discipline, increased execution and increased transparency to make sure that you are really building a company for a hundred years.

Dan Rosensweig

...we have got to deal with increased demand for energy, increased demand for food, increased demand for water, and we've got to do that while mitigating and adapting to climate change. And we have but 21 years to do it

John Beddington

Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.

John Donne

Talk about the joys of the unexpected, can they compare with the joys of the expected, of finding everything delightfully and completely what you knew it was going to be?

Elizabeth Bibesco

As was the case for Nobel's own invention of dynamite, the uses that are made of increased knowledge can serve both beneficial and potentially harmful ends. Increased knowledge clearly implies increased responsibility. We reject the notion advocated in some quarters that man should stop eating from the tree of knowledge, as if that were humanly possible.
