Famous quotes containing the word somerset:

    I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation.
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)

    We learn resignation not by our own suffering, but by the suffering of others.
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)

    It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
