Remedy Quotations
We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. Mother Teresa I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion. Thomas Jefferson Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings. Helen Keller We may have found a cure for most evils; but we have found no remedy for the worst of them all, the apathy of human beings. Helen Keller There is no remedy for love but to love more. Henry David Thoreau Don't find fault, find a remedy. Henry Ford Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. Voltaire The greatest remedy for anger is delay. Thomas Paine The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God.
