Injured

Famous quotes containing the word injured:

    There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down; and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    He threatens many that hath injured one.
    Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)

    Men sometimes feel injured by praise because it assigns a limit to their merit; few people are modest enough not to take offense that one appreciates them.
    Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715–1747)
