Paltry Quotations
Death unites as well as separates; it silences all paltry feeling. Honore De Balzac So long as you don't feel life's paltry and a miserable business, the rest doesn't matter, happiness or unhappiness. David Herbert Lawrence An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick, unless soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing for every tatter in its mortal dress. William Butler Yeats One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation. Walter Scott There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man. Edgar Allan Poe |
