Human Suffering

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or suffering:

“Yet here at least an earnest sense
Of human right and weal is shown;
A hate of tyranny intense,
And hearty in its vehemence,
As if my brother’s pain and sorrow were my own.

O Freedom! if to me belong
Nor mighty Milton’s gift divine,
Nor Marvell’s wit and graceful song.
Still with a love as deep and strong
As theirs, I lay, like them, my best gifts on thy shrine!”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

“The love of justice in most people is only the fear of suffering injustice.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
