Weary

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)

    The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
    The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
    And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
    Had hid away earth’s old and weary cry.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)
