Pain Relief

Famous quotes containing the words pain and/or relief:

    If ever you prove false to one another, since I have taken such pain to bring you together, let all pitiful goers-between be called to the world’s end after my name; call them all Pandars.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The hill farmer ... always seems to make out somehow with his corn patch, his few vegetables, his rifle, and fishing rod. This self-contained economy creates in the hillman a comparative disinterest in the world’s affairs, along with a disdain of lowland ways. “I don’t go to question the good Lord in his wisdom,” runs the phrasing attributed to a typical mountaineer, “but I jest cain’t see why He put valleys in between the hills.”
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
