“It is wild out there -- there's a lot of misery on the weather map from coast to coast to coast. We'd sent out search parties looking for winter and we finally found it, and it's here, and it's beginning to bite us deep and hard.”
David Phillips
“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.”
Dalai Lama
“Nature has made us frivolous to console us for our miseries”
Voltaire
“A grownup is a stubborn person who refuses to blame his dna, parents, co-workers, computer virus, the traffic and the weather for his misery.”
john b. bejo
“I have learned now that while those who speak about one’s miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.”
C.S. Lewis
“Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.”
“I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.”
Martha Washington
