Distress Quotes
-
When from soft love proceeds the deep distress, ah! why forbid the willing tears to flow?
William Cowper
-
No matter how serious the trial, how deep the distress, how great the affliction, God will never desert us, He never has, and He never will.
George Q. Cannon
-
Thus, in a middle course between these heights and depths, they drifted through life rather than lived, the prey of aimless days and sterile memories, like wandering shadows that could have acquired substance only by consenting to root themselves in the solid earth of their distress.
Albert Camus
-
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
-
Through the years, I have helped thousands of children who were ill or in distress.
Michael Jackson
-
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
-
Read the Bible, read the Bible! Let no religious book take its place. Through all my perplexities and distresses, I seldom read any other book, and I as rarely felt the want of any other.
William Wilberforce
-
“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
-
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
-
To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love All pray in their distress, And to these virtues of delight Return their thankfulness.
William Blake
-
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
-
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
