Ever Injustice Made More Suffers Than Wretched

Quote Author

Plato
Greek - Philosopher
427 BC - 347 BC

There are times when we suffer innocently at other people’s hands. When that occurs, we are victims of injustice. But that injustice happens on a horizontal plane. No one ever suffers injustice on the vertical plane. That is, no one ever suffers unjustly in terms of his or her relationship with God. As long as we bear the guilt of sin, we cannot protest that God is unjust in allowing us to suffer.

R. C. Sproul

Government is an institution which prevents injustice other than such as it commits itself.

Ibn Khaldun

A wretched woman is more unfortunate than a wretched man.

Victor Hugo

Everyone suffers some injustice in life, and what better motivation than to help others not suffer in the same way.

Bella Thorne

You think I have more than most people dream of? What other people dream of doesn't matter. I always had less than I ever dreamt of. All I ever dreamt of was family. A father and a mother. Most people don't even need to dream of such luxuries, they take them for granted. That is what I used to dwell on, alone in my bedroom. I dwelt as all children do, on the injustice. Injustice is the most terrible thing in the world, Oliver. Everything that is evil springs from it and only a cheap soul can abide it without anger.

Stephen Fry

No-one was ever made wretched in a brothel.

Cyril Connolly

Progress is the injustice each generation commits with regard to its predecessors.

Emil Cioran

In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see. In the face of injustice, one may not look the other way. When someone suffers, and it is not you, that person comes first. One's very suffering gives one priority. . . . To watch over one who grieves is a more urgent duty than to think of God.

Elie Wiesel

Call not that man wretched, who whatever ills he suffers, has a child to love.

Eric Hoffer

In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by silence and by speech acting together, comes a double significance. In the symbol proper, what we can call a symbol, there is ever, more or less distinctly and directly, some embodiment and revelation of the Infinite; the Infinite is made to blend itself with the Finite, to stand visible, and as it were, attainable there. By symbols, accordingly, is man guided and commanded, made happy, made wretched.

Thomas Carlyle

A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary

Seneca the Younger

A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I'm convinced, more than ever, that man finds liberation only when he binds himself to God and commits himself to his fellow man.

Ronald Reagan

I love you, Gabby, more than you'll ever know. You're everything I've ever wanted in a wife. You're every hope and every dream I've ever had, and you've made me happier than any man could possibly be. I don't ever want to give that up. I can't.

Nicholas Sparks

I have come to believe that one thing people cannot bear is a sense of injustice. Poverty, cold, even hunger are more bearable than injustice.

Millicent Fenwick

Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. A tree does not know itself wretched. It is then being wretched to know oneself wretched; but it is being great to know that one is wretched.

Blaise Pascal
