Considered Epigrams

Famous quotes containing the words considered and/or epigrams:

    They who have considered our nature, affirm that shame and disgrace are two of the most insupportable evils of human life: the courage and spirits of many have master’d other misfortunes and borne themselves up against them; but the wisest and best of souls have not been a match for these.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    If anybody comes to I,
    I physics, bleeds, and sweats’em;
    If, after that, they like to die,
    Why, what care I, I lets ‘em.
    —Anonymous. “On Dr. Lettsom,” from Geoffrey Grigson’s Faber Book of Epigrams and Epitaphs (1977)
