pity

Youth, beauty, graceful action seldom fail: But common interest always will prevail; And pity never ceases to be shown To him who makes the people's wrongs his own.

What a pity that so many people rather believe their doubts And doubt their beliefs. . . Why don't we just decide to have no doubts, And believe your beliefs! Fear and worry is just the mis-use of the creative powers We originally got to dream.

Those who do not complain are never pitied.

Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied.

His heart kep' goin' pity-pat, But hern went pity-Zekle.

Don't pity me now, don't pity me never; I'm going to do nothing for ever and ever.

Heaven hears and pities hapless men like me, For sacred ev'n to gods is misery.

It is better to be envied than pitied.

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard taskmaster to yourself -- and be lenient with everybody else.

Pity the man who has a character to support - it is worse than a large family - he is silent poor indeed.
