Worse Quotes (page 14)

Saying something is 'too bad' is easy. You say you disapprove, which makes you a nice person, and then you can go about your business and not be interested anymore. It's a lot worse than 'too bad.' It's against everything decent and natural. Isaac Asimov
Elaine Dundy quote: "I always expect people to behave much better than I do. When..."
I always expect people to behave much better than I do. When they actually behave worse, I am frankly incredulous. Elaine Dundy
St. Jerome quote: "It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance."
It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance. St. Jerome
There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man's lawful prey. John Ruskin
I have read my books by many lights, hoarding their beauty, their wit or wisdom against the dark days when I would have no book, nor a place to read. I have known hunger of the belly kind many times over, but I have known a worse hunger: the need to know and to learn. Louis L'Amour
Don't fool yourself, my dear. You're much worse than a bitch. You're a saint. Which shows why saints are dangerous and undesirable. Ayn Rand
Marcus Aurelius quote: "Neither worse then or better is a thing made by being praised."
Neither worse then or better is a thing made by being praised. Marcus Aurelius
Bathsheba loved Troy in the way that only self-reliant women love when they abandon their self-reliance. When a strong woman recklessly throws away her strength she is worse than a weak woman who has never any strength to throw away. One source of her inadequacy is the novelty of the occasion. She has never had practice in making the best of such a condition. Weakness is doubly weak by being new. Thomas Hardy
E. M. Forster quote: "Books have to be read (worse luck, for it takes a long time);..."
Books have to be read (worse luck, for it takes a long time); it is the only way of discovering what they contain. E. M. Forster
Because the persecuting majority is vile, says the liberal, therefore the persecuted minority must be stainlessly pure. Can't you see what nonsense that is? What's to prevent the bad from being persecuted by the worse? Did all the Christian victims in the arena have to be saints? Christopher Isherwood
Franklin P. Adams quote: "Every time we tell anybody to cheer up, things might be worse,..."
Every time we tell anybody to cheer up, things might be worse, we run away for fear we might be asked to specify how. Franklin P. Adams
People with a grudge against the world are always dangerous. They seem to think life owes them something. I've known many an invalid who has suffered worse and been cut off from life much more... and they've managed to lead happy contented lives. It's what's in yourself that makes you happy or unhappy. Agatha Christie
Robert Cormier quote: "pain reaches a certain point and does not get worse but..."
...pain reaches a certain point and does not get worse but remains in all its intensity and you can survive it. Robert Cormier
As when my little son John offendeth: if then I should not whip him, but call him to the table unto me, and give him sugar and plums, thereby, I should make him worse, yea should quite spoil him. Martin Luther
I owe you a small thanks, for you have made me far more sure of my own position by letting me see the case for free choice put forward with all the energy of so distinguished and powerful a mind, but with no other effect than to make things worse than before. Martin Luther
