Trouble Quotes
-
But when we borrow trouble, and look forward into the future to see what storms are coming, and distress ourselves before they come as to how we shall avert them if they ever do come, we lose our proper trustfulness in God. When we torment ourselves with imaginary dangers, or trials, or reverses, we have already parted with that perfect love which casteth out fear.
Henry Ward Beecher
-
Nothing is more unworthy of a wise man, or ought to trouble him more, than to have allowed more time for trifling, and useless things, than they deserve.
Plato
-
Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.
John Barrymore

The basic prescription for preventing deflation is straightforward, at least in principle: Use monetary and fiscal policy as needed to support aggregate spending, in a manner as nearly consistent as possible with full utilization of economic resources and low and stable inflation. In other words, the best way to get out of trouble is not to get into it in the first place.
Ben Bernanke
-
Frankly, the trouble with winter is, it is all backbone. It is fleshless, insensate, with neither a breast to be leaned on nor a heart to love and ache and, if need be, break, nor any kindly hand to fondle and caress like a sea-wave on a sunny shore half asleep.
William Alfred Quayle
-
Those who show pity and are always ready to help during times of trouble are seldom the same ones who rejoice in our joy: when others are happy they have nothing to do, they become superfluous and lose their feeling of superiority, and so they easily show their displeasure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
It is our duty never to speak ill of others, you know; least of all when we know that to do so will be the cause of much pain and trouble.
George Gissing
-
It's been a pattern in my life - when I get in trouble, I try to get out of it, since I was little.
Nicole Richie
-
That was the trouble of being old. Your body no longer obeyed you. It did unruly and unreasonable things. An eye suddenly might not see for a moment. Your knees gave out at the wrong time, so that when you thought you were walking north, you might find yourself going a little northwest. Your brain, too, had that same flighty trick. You might be speaking of something and forget it temporarily,—your mind going off at a little to the northwest, too, so to speak.
Bess Streeter Aldrich
-
Deep inside you know when trouble comes and there's no one else to turn to you can call on each other and count on each other ... because each other is all you have.
Adele Faber
-
They smell of all the baths they didnt take. The trouble with China is, there are too many chinks here.
L. Ron Hubbard
-
I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.
Bryan Adams
-
The trees have inquisitive eyes, haven't they? -that is, seem as if they had. And the river says,-'Why do ye trouble me with your looks?' And you seem to see numbers of tomorrows just all in a line, the first of them the biggest and clearest, the others getting smaller and smaller as they stand further away; but they all seem very fierce and cruel and as if they said, 'I'm coming! Beware of me! Beware of me!
Thomas Hardy
-
It is not things in themselves which trouble us, but our opinions of things.
Jacques Pepin
-
“The poor wretch, she had given up so much and could yet smile at her trouble. He himself had never surrendered to anything in life – that was what life demanded of you – surrender. For reward it gave you love, this swarthy, skin – deep love that exacted remorseless penalties.”
A. E. Coppard
