Small Relief

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or relief:

“A small garden, figs, a little cheese, and, along with this, three or four good friends—such was luxury to Epicurus.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Do not be discouraged, if in a thousand instances you find your kindness rejected and wronged, your good evil-spoken of, and the hand you extend for the relief of others, cast insultingly away; the benevolence which cannot outlive these trials of its purity and strength, is not like the self-sacrifice of him, who went about doing good.”
—C., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 331-4 (July 1828)
