Famous quotes containing the word weary:
“The weary pilgrim to thy roof;
Where if, refresh’d, he will away,
He’s fairly welcome; or if stay,
Far more; which he shall hearty find
Both from the master and the hind.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.”
—“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
“Joseph, when I had jewels and lands and palaces, I was often weary and discontent. When everything was taken away, except my life, I learned that the way to be really happy is to serve others, to be needed.”
—Adele Comandini. Edward Sutherland. Madam Tanya (Maria Ouspenskaya)
