I do not speak to those who are well employed, in whatever circumstances, and they know whether they are well employed or not; but mainly to the mass of men who are discontented, and idly complaining of the hardness of their lot or of the times, when they might improve them.

Henry David Thoreau

Half the ills we heard within our hearts are ills because we hoard them.

Bryan Procter

We should be redoubling our own efforts to combat climate change, not watering them down.

Ed Davey

Half of the ills we hoard within our hearts Are ills because we hoard them.

Bryan Procter

Happy the man who sees a God employed in all the good and ills that checker life.

William Cowper

We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end to them.

Seneca the Younger

The glory of medicine is that it is constantly moving forward, that there is always more to learn. The ills of today do not cloud the horizon of tomorrow, but act as a spur to greater effort.

William James Mayo

Children generally hate to be idle; all the care then is that their busy humour should be constantly employed in something of use to them

John Locke

Since Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, why are they complaining about the Russians hacking the election? I mean, Hillary wins the popular vote, what more can a hacker do than get you the majority of the popular vote? But yet they're running around complaining about the hackers and they're blaming the Russians for stealing the election.

Rush Limbaugh

The correctness of any of our policies has always to be tested and is always being tested by the masses themselves. We ourselves constantly examine our own decisions and policies. We correct our mistakes whenever we find them. We draw conclusions from all positive and negative experiences and apply those conclusions as widely as possible. In these ways relations between the Communist party and the masses of the people are constantly being improved.

Mao Zedong

If God is omnipotent and omniscient, why didn't he start the universe out in the first place so it would come out the way he wants? Why's he constantly repairing and complaining? No, there's one thing the Bible makes clear: The biblical God is a sloppy manufacturer. He's not good at design, he's not good at execution. He'd be out of business, if there was any competition.

Carl Sagan

I'm very happy to be employed. I always contend that in show business that if you're employed, then you're successful.

Lance Burton

We cannot make up for failure in our devotional life by redoubling energy in service. We shall never take people beyond our own spiritual attainment.

William Griffith Thomas

I just feel incredibly lucky to be employed when there are so many actors and actresses who are not employed. That's why, you know, I sometimes feel desperate, in case I'm not going to be cast again.

Judi Dench

We're not always in the position that we want to be at. We're constantly growing, we're constantly making mistakes, we're constantly trying to express ourselves and trying to actualize our dreams.

Kanye West

Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. And since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one
