Distress Quotes
O God, I confess I am not worthy to rock that little babe or wash its diapers, or to be entrusted with the care of a child and its mother. How is it that I without any merit have come to this distinction of being certain that I am serving thy creature and thy most precious will? Oh, how gladly will I do so. Though the duty should be even more insignificant and despised, neither frost nor heat, neither drudgery nor labor will distress me for I am certain that it is thus pleasing in thy sight.
Elisabeth Elliot
There is no distress so complete but that even in the most critical moments the inexplicable sunrise of hope is seen in its depths.
Victor Hugo
All by yourself, unable to express the pain of your distress with your deeper inside. You alienate yourself and everybody else.
Henry Rollins
Black Flag
When from soft love proceeds the deep distress, ah! why forbid the willing tears to flow?
William Cowper
Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones; Who, though they cannot answer my distress, Yet in some sort they are better than the tribunes, For that they will not intercept my tale: When I do weep, they humbly at my feet Receive my tears and seem to weep with me; And, were they but attired in grave weeds, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.
William Shakespeare
Many a man in his hour of trial has turned to the Book of Mormon and been enlightened, enlivened, and comforted. The psalms in the Old Testament have a special food for the soul of one in distress.
Ezra Taft Benson
The graves of those we have loved and lost distress and console as.
Arsene Houssaye
Watch yourself as you go about your daily business and later reflect on what you saw, trying to identify the sources of distress in your life and thinking about how to avoid that distress.
Epictetus
“He who endures distress, will be granted joys; and he who bears with unpleasant things, will not be deprived of the pleasant.”
Nilus of Sinai
This paper will serve instead of a confidential friend into whose ear I might pour forth the overflowings of my heart. It will not sympathize with my distresses, but then, it will not laugh at them, and, if I keep it close, it cannot tell again; so it is, perhaps, the best friend I could have for the purpose.
Anne Bronte
Some other memories of the funeral have stuck in my mind. The old boy’s face, for instance, when he caught up with us for the last time, just outside the village. His eyes were streaming with tears, of exhaustion or distress, or both together. But because of the wrinkles they couldn’t flow down. They spread out, crisscrossed, and formed a smooth gloss on the old, worn face.
Albert Camus
Commercial distress in any great business center will the more surely create widespread disaster.
Josiah Strong
