COMFORT
The
unhappy derive comfort from the misfortunes of others.
-- Aesop

In
poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends
are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief;
to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness,
and those in the prime of life they incite to noble
deeds.
-- Aristotle

The
superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks
of comfort.
-- Confucius
Music

There's some metaphysical comfort where it allows you to
be isolated and alone
while telling you that you are not alone... truly, the only
cure for sadness is to share it with someone else.
-- Wayne Coyne

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties

Friendship
is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.
-- George Eliot
"When
things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they
could always be worse.
And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things
are so bad they have to get better."
-- Malcolm Forbes
We all
have something to offer.
It’s so important to be able to step out of our comfort
zone
and share the benefit of our experience with others who
are trying to find their way.
You can make a real difference and have real impact. I haven’t
experienced anything more satisfying than that.
-- David Gregory (Meet The Press)
Economists
have provided capitalists with a comforting concept called
the "free market." It does not describe any part of reality,
at any place or time. It's a mantra conveniently invoked
when it is proposed that government do something the faithful
don't like, and just as conveniently ignored whenever they
want government to do something for them.
-- Edward S. Herman

Too
often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the
discomfort of thought.
-- John
F. Kennedy

The
ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in
moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands
at times of challenge and controversy. --
Martin
Luther King, Jr

I
was able to see faith as more than just a comfort
to the weary or a hedge against death; rather, it
was an active, palpable agent in the world.

Peace of mind comes when we find comfort in solitude
instead of lonlieness.
--
Robert
Alan Silverstein
We
can only help make our lives and our world more peaceful,
when we ourselves feel peace.
Peace already exists within each of us, if we only
allow ourselves to feel its comfort.
Peace of mind begins when we stop thinking about how
far we have to go, or how hard the road has been,
and just let ourselves feel peace.
Peace of mind gives us the strength to keep trying
and keep walking along the path that we KNOW is right
for our lives.

Most
of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts
of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive
hindrances to the elevation of mankind. With respect
to luxuries and comforts, the wisest have even lived
a more simple and meagre life than the poor.
-- Henry
David Thoreau

Is
solace anywhere more comforting than in the arms of
a sister.
~Alice

In
no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort.
If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find
only danger, hard work and iron resolution.
-- Wendell
