Ready

Famous quotes containing the word ready:

    The more one loves a mistress, the more one is ready to hate her.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    Face troubles from their birth, for ‘tis too late to cure
    When long delay has given the evil strength.
    Haste then; postpone not to the coming hour: tomorrow
    He’ll be less ready who’s not ready now.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    Those who show pity and are always ready to help during times of trouble are seldom the same ones who rejoice in our joy: when others are happy they have nothing to do, they become superfluous and lose their feeling of superiority, and so they easily show their displeasure.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
