Weary

Famous quotes containing the word weary:

    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)

    Ye tradeful Merchants, that, with weary toil,
    Do seek most precious things to make your gain,
    And both the Indias of their treasure spoil,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Sweet pliability of man’s spirit, that can at once surrender itself to illusions, which cheat expectation and sorrow of their weary moments!—long—long since had ye number’d out my days, had I not trod so great a part of them upon this enchanted ground.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
