Discontented Quotes (page 2)

And so, onwards... along a path of wisdom, with a hearty tread, a hearty confidence.. however you may be, be your own source of experience. Throw off your discontent about your nature. Forgive yourself your own self. You have it in your power to merge everything you have lived through- false starts, errors, delusions, passions, your loves and your hopes- into your goal, with nothing left over. Friedrich Nietzsche
Earl Moncrief, the butler, built his financial, procurement, and secret service organizations with the brute power of cash and a profound understanding of clever, malicious, discontented people who lived behind servile facades. Kurt Vonnegut
There is nothing quite like this novel with its rage and ragings, its discontent and angry restlessness. Wuthering Heights is a virgin's story. Elizabeth Hardwick
Frank Herbert quote: "Mankind has only one scienc? its the science of discontent."
Mankind has only one scienc? its the science of discontent. Frank Herbert
Nora Roberts quote: "Dependence, she knew, and the longing for more than what you..."
Dependence, she knew, and the longing for more than what you had, led to unhappiness and discontent. Nora Roberts
There are only four ways in which a ruling group can fall from power. Either it is conquered from without, or it governs so inefficiently that the masses are stirred to revolt, or it allows a strong and discontented Middle Group to come into being, or it loses its own self-confidence and willingness to govern. These causes do not operate singly, and as a rule all four of them are present in some degree. A ruling class which could guard against all of them would remain in power permanently.... George Orwell
Communism is a hateful thing and a menace to peace and organized government; but the communism of combined wealth and capital, the outgrowth of overweening cupidity and selfishness, which insidiously undermines the justice and integrity of free institutions, is not less dangerous than the communism of oppressed poverty and toil, which, exasperated by injustice and discontent, attacks with wild disorder the citadel of rule. Grover Cleveland
John Steinbeck quote: "We can shoot rockets into space but we can't cure anger or..."
We can shoot rockets into space but we can't cure anger or discontent. John Steinbeck
We are, perhaps uniquely among the earth’s creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take the idea of dying, unable to sit still. Lewis Thomas
Neither the discontent of party friends, nor the allurements constantly offered of confirmations of appointees conditions upon the avowal that suspensions have been made on party grounds alone, nor the threat proposed in the resolutions now before the Senate that no confirmations will be made unless the demands of that body are complied with, are sufficient to discourage or deter me from following in the way which I am convinced leads to better government for the people. Grover Cleveland
I was oppressed with a sense of vague discontent and dissatisfaction with my own life, which was passing so quickly and uninterestingly, and I kept thinking it would be a good thing if I could tear my heart out of my breast, that heart which had grown so weary of life. Anton Chekhov
Eugene V. Debs quote: "Intelligent discontent is the mainspring of civilization."
Intelligent discontent is the mainspring of civilization. Eugene V. Debs
Another sort of false prayers are our regrets. Discontent is the way of self-reliance: it is infirmity of will. Regret calamities, if you can thereby help the sufferer; if not, attend your own work, and already the evil begins to be repaired. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I feel my griefs too, and there scarce is ground. Upon my flesh t'inflict another wound. Yet dare I not complain, or wish for death. With holy Paul; lest it be thought the breath. Of discontent; or that these prayers be. For weariness of life, not love of thee. Ben Jonson
Harness the imagination: Sometimes curbing her, sometimes giving her rein, for she is the whole of happiness. She sets to rights even the understanding. She sinks to tyranny, not satisfied with mere faith, but demanding works. Thus she becomes the mistress of life itself. She does so with pleasure or with pain, according to the nonsense presented. She makes people contented or discontented with themselves. By dangling before some nothing but the specter of their eternal suffering, she becomes... Baltasar Gracian
