“Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.”
Charlie Chaplin
“Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.”
Voltaire
“It is curious - curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare”
Mark Twain
“We are more wicked together than separately. If you are forced to be in a crowd, then most of all you should withdraw into yourself”
Seneca
“Cover that bosom. I must not see it. Souls are wounded by such things, and they arouse wicked thoughts.”
Moliere
“If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.”
Charlotte Bronte
“One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalized by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.”
Oscar Wilde
