The world is apt to judge of everything by the success; and whoever has ill fortune will hardly be allowed a good name.
William Dampier

The world owes all its onward impulses to men ill at ease. The happy man inevitably confines himself within ancient limits.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will.
James Thomson

Desmond Dekker

There are congressmen in our congregation, judges, federal reserve governors. And there are also people who are homeless and some who are mentally ill. To be able to talk to each of those people is something that I've had to learn how to do over the years.
James Green Somerville

There is no disgrace in an enemy suffering ill at an enemy's hand, when you hate mutually.
Aeschylus

There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.
Thomas Fuller

There is only one thing I want. I would like to be seriously ill, and to hear nothing more about him for at least a week. Why doesn't something happen to me? Why do I have to go through all this? If only I had never set eyes on him!
Eva Braun

Frances Burney

They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon

Those among them that have not received our religion do not fright any from it, and use none ill that goes over to it, so that all the while I was there one man was only punished on this occasion.
Thomas More

Those who become mentally ill often have a history of chronic pain.
Gene Tierney

Those who speak ill of the spiritual life, although they come and go by day, are like the smith's bellows: they take breath but are not alive.
William Hazlitt

'Tis ill talking of halters in the house of a man that was hanged.
Miguel de Cervantes

To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
Aristotle

To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say, and always a clever thing to say.
Will Durant

To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue.
William Hazlitt

True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than, I should think, at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man's words, for good or ill, can now so easily reach the millions.
Lester B. Pearson

Unless they're a fugitive or a felon, or adjudicated mentally ill, we're not against them buying guns at all.
