Famous quotes containing the word worse:
“A man’s ignorance sometimes is not only useful, but beautiful,Mwhile his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless, besides being ugly. Which is the best man to deal with,Mhe who knows nothing about a subject, and, what is extremely rare, knows that he knows nothing, or he who really knows something about it, but thinks that he knows all?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If originally it was not good for a man to be alone, it is much worse for a sick man to be so; he thinks too much of his distemper, and magnifies it.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The more I see
Pleasures about me, so much more I feel
Torment within me, as from the hateful siege
Of contraries; all good to me becomes
Bane, and in heav’n much worse would be my state.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
