But the nearer the dawn the darker the night, And by going wrong all things come right. Things have been mended that were worse, and the the worse, the nearer they are to mend.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There are worse things than having behaved foolishly in public. There are worse things than these miniature betrayals, committed or endured or suspected; there are worse things than not being able to sleep for thinking about them. It is 5 a.m. All the worse things come stalking in and stand icily about the bed looking worse and worse and worse.

Fleur Adcock

I wish thy lot, now bad, still worse, my friend, for when at worst, they say, things always mend.

John Owen

Blessed are the powers that grant me magic. I promise to use their gift well. To help mend my world. To help mend all worlds. And should I forget to mend, Should I refuse to mend, Still I will remember To do no harm.

Janni Lee Simner

I think, in general, it's clear that most bad things come from misunderstanding, and communication is generally the way to resolve misunderstandings - and the Web's a form of communications - so it generally should be good.

Tim Berners-Lee

There are hearts, reader, that never mend again once they are broken. Or if they do mend, they heal themselves in a crooked and lopsided way, as if sewn together by a careless craftsman.

Kate DiCamillo

A couple of back operations didn't cure anything, but instead, things got worse and worse and worse.

Andrew Lloyd Webber

I always make a big effort to make a distinction between what is actually worse or what is just worse about not being 21. Of course, it's much worse not to be 21. This is a given. But there are things that are worse.

Fran Lebowitz

Why do you ever mend your clothes, unless that, wearing them, you may mend your ways. Let us sing.

Henry David Thoreau

If we would mend the World, we should mend Ourselves; and teach our Children to be, not what we are, but what they should be.

William Penn

Nothing lasts. So it's my belief, yes, I know a lot of the things that we liked didn't last, but maybe things we don't like, they're also not going to last. There has been progress in my lifetime. There are certainly things that are better than when I was young, and there are things that are worse. New York City, it's worse. There's no question.

Fran Lebowitz

When things are at their blackest, I say to myself, 'Cheer up, things could be worse.' And sure enough, they get worse.
