Famous quotes containing the words troubles and/or ring:

    “Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another’s great tribulation; not because any man’s troubles are a delectable joy, but because to perceive you are free of them yourself is pleasant.”
    —Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus)

    “It is engend’red in the eyes,
    With gazing fed; and fancy dies
    In the cradle where it lies.
    Let us all ring fancy’s knell.
    I’ll begin it—Ding, dong, bell.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
