When you get to a certain age, it's kind of the same thing. There's no new school to go to, no new teachers. There's some comfort in that. (Fred Willard)
I am confident that the whole Church, which is in such need of mercy for we are sinners, will be able to find in this Jubilee the joy of rediscovering and rendering fruitful God's mercy, with which we are all called to give comfort to every man and every woman of our time. Do not forget that God forgives all, and God forgives always. Let us never tire of asking forgiveness. Let us henceforth entrust this Year to the Mother of Mercy, that she turn her gaze upon us and watch over our journey: our penitential journey, our year-long journey with an open heart, to receive the indulgence of God, to receive the mercy of God.

Pope Francis
A lot of the justification psychics give is that ‘well, it comforts people' and my feeling on that is, well, if they're lies, who are you to decide that your lies are what people need to hear to comfort them. I think it's a twisted logic. And I think that the reasons... if you've lost somebody dear to you and I'm trampling all over those memories telling you that they're here now saying this and that, that's none of my business. And if I'm just doing it because I can earn some money out of it... and when you watch these people at work so much of it is ego. Some of mediums at these spiritualist churches – especially the ones that aren't so good – they just look like second rate stage hypnotists that you might see in a pub in Corfu. It's horrendous. That I find really quite ugly. View quote

Sheri S. Tepper
The man who has many answers is often found in the theaters of information where he offers, graciously, his deep findings. While the man who has only questions, to comfort himself, makes music. View quote
Mary Oliver
The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill; perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command. View quote
William Wordsworth
Here there was only yourself; a soul buried alive. Nothing to comfort you but your own life. Screaming from the pain of the blows which battered him down might have stopped, but the internal scream of self-loathing could never cease. View quote
Peter F. Hamilton
You will see...many very important differences between our methods of education and yours, but the main difference is that nowadays all persons equally have those opportunities of higher education which in your day only an infinitesimal portion of the population enjoyed. We should think we had gained nothing worth speaking of, in equalizing the physical comfort of men, without this educational equality.... View quote
Edward Bellamy
He must make sure Magnus is out of his comfort zone, he needs to direct the positions. It needs to be a mess. He needs to get Magnus into a brawl. View quote
Viswanathan Anand
Sometimes I'm so deeply buried under self-reproaches that I long for a word of comfort to help me dig myself out again. View quote
Anne Frank
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. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. (Anne Frank)
When the Superior Man eats he does not try to stuff himself; at rest he does not seek perfect comfort; he is diligent in his work and careful in speech. He avails himself to people of the Tao and thereby corrects himself. This is the kind of person of whom you can say, "he loves learning." View quote
Confucius
The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort. View quote
Confucius
The scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar. View quote
Confucius
That dark dweller in Btaj Is my only refuge. O, my companion, Worldly comfort is an illusion, As soon as you get it, it goes I have chosen the Indestructible for my refuge Whom the snake of death Will not devour. My Beloved dwells in my heart, I have actually seen that Abode of Joy. Mir's Lord is Hari, the Indestructible My Lord, I have taken refuge with Thee Thy slave. View quote
Meera Bai
But, reader, there is no comfort in the word "farewell," even if you say it in French. "Farewell" is a word that, in any language, is full of sorrow. It is a word that promises absolutely nothing. View quote
Kate DiCamillo
The church has not turned the minds of men toward principles of justice, mercy and truth-it has destroyed the foundation of justice. It does not minister comfort at the coffin-it fills the mourners with fear. It has never preached a gospel of "Peace on Earth”-it has never preached "Good Will toward men.”. View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
Lack of comfort means we are on the threshold of new insights. View quote
Lawrence M. Krauss
Real leaders ask hard questions and knock people out of their comfort zones and then manage the resulting distress. View quote
Alan Hirsch
If the WormCam had shown nothing else, he thought, it was this, with pitiless clarity: that the lives of most humans had been miserable and short, deprived of freedom and joy and comfort, their brief moments in the light reduced to sentences to be endured. View quote
Arthur C. Clarke
They drew near, and observing that they were very comfortable standing before the warm fire, they put on logs and, while thus keeping it alive, brought up other people to it, showing them by signs how much comfort they got from it. In that gathering of men, at a time when utterance of sound was purely individual, from daily habits they fixed upon articulate words just as these had happened to come; then, from indicating by name things in common use, the result was that in this chance way they began to talk, and thus originated conversation with one another. (Vitruvius)
What comfort there is in the skin of someone you love! View quote
Erich Maria Remarque
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master. View quote
Kahlil Gibran
I love romantic films and love drama. Any film that has romance or romantic element is my comfort. View quote
Rani Mukerji
There are far too many people there for comfort. Birth control came late and is still being fought-if you can possibly imagine that. There are just too many of the archaic religions still around, as well as crackbrained ideas that have been long entrenched in custom. The world's overcrowded. Men, women, children, a boiling mob wherever you look. View quote
