Toothache Quotes

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache. (Mae West)
The man with a toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound. The poverty-stricken man makes the same mistake about the rich man. View quote
George Bernard Shaw
The center of every man's existence is a dream. Death, disease, insanity, are merely material accidents, like toothache or a twisted ankle. That these brutal forces always besiege and often capture the citadel does not prove that they are the citadel. View quote
G. K. Chesterton
The poor maidservant who used to say that she only believed in God when she had a toothache puts all theologians to shame. View quote
Emil Cioran
I had troubles of my own, and even the most heartening of philosophical vistas is no match for, say, a toothache, if it happens to be your own. View quote
Roger Zelazny
Nearly all creators of Utopia have resembled the man who has toothache, and therefore thinks happiness consists in not having toothache. They wanted to produce a perfect society by an endless continuation of something that had only been valuable because it was temporary. The wider course would be to say that there are certain lines along which humanity must move, the grand strategy is mapped out, but detailed prophecy is not our business. Whoever tries to imagine perfection simply reveals his own emptiness. View quote
George Orwell
How many of our virtues originate in the fear of Death - & that while we flatter ourselves that we are melting in Christian Sensibility over the sorrows of our human Brethren and Sisteren, we are in fact, tho' perhaps unconsciously, moved at the prospect of our own End - for who sincerely pities Sea-sickness, Toothache, or a fit of the Gout in a lusty Good-liver of 50? View quote
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Faced with the choice of enduring a bad toothache or going to the dentist, we generally tried to ride out the bad tooth. View quote
Joseph Barbera
A sore arm is like a headache or a toothache. It can make you feel bad, but if you just forget about it and do what you have to do, it will go away. If you really like to pitch and you want to pitch, that's what you'll do. View quote
Warren Spahn
Hey, when Vicky sends you the picture, send it to me. Listen to me, listen to me, Vicky, I don't wanna hurt you. I know you got a condition, and I don't want you to feel bad, but I'm gonna die before you have a toothache and that's the truth, you understand. I got nothing. I got no group picture. I got group picture. Let me tell you where I got the group pictures from. I got a group picture from Maria DeMaria. She sent me all her four grandchildren together in a picture. I got it from Georgia Corozza, she sent me her group picture. You want me to go on. I didn't get nothing from mine. View quote
John Gotti
Between the town of Giles, to the north of the Tomkinson Range, and Forrest in the Nullarbor Plain, lies the Great Victorian Desert. It is hot, arid, desolate and merciless; and whatever the Creator had in mind when He made it that way, it most certainly wasn't human beings. It's a really awful place to be if you've got toothache. (Tom Holt)
In old age it is no longer possible to credit the sheer, almost physical agony which is caused in youth by the passage of time, when the turning of spring into summer arouses pain as lively as the pain of toothache. The succession of the seasons is like a recurrent inescapable catastrophe, which sweeps away what is young and beautiful, and what is beautiful because it is young. View quote
Enoch Powell
The outsider, Haller says, is a self-divided man; being self-divided, his chief desire is to be unified. He is selfish as a man with a lifelong raging toothache. View quote
Colin Wilson
A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance. View quote
T. S. Eliot
There are men so philosophical that they can see humor in their own toothaches. But there has never lived a man so philosophical that he could see the toothache in his own humor. View quote
H. L. Mencken
He that sleeps feels no the toothache. View quote
William Shakespeare
I always take Scotch whiskey at night as a preventive of toothache. I have never had the toothache; and what is more, I never intend to have it. View quote
Mark Twain
When the records of our civilization are balanced, then-but perhaps not before-the real importance of dental science will be appreciated. Now it is merely valued at the moment of toothache. View quote
Avram Davidson
The withering away of illusions is a long and dreary process, like a toothache. But you can pull out a tooth. Illusions, dead, continue to rot within us. And stink. And you can't escape them. I carry all of mine around with me. View quote
Dmitri Shostakovich
To the person with a toothache, even if the world is tottering, there is nothing more important than a visit to a dentist. View quote
George Bernard Shaw
Music helps not the toothache. (George Herbert)
Nearly all creators of Utopia have resembled the man who has toothache, and therefore thinks happiness consists in not having toothache. View quote
George Orwell
Love and toothache have many cures, but none infallible, except possession and dispossession. View quote
Benjamin Franklin
A toothache will cost a battle, a drizzle cancel an insurrection. View quote
Vladimir Nabokov
..Since depression is a genetic biological illness, like diabetes, or low thyroid, it wasn't lack of character, laziness, or something I could "snap out of"-it would be like trying to snap out of a toothache. View quote
Peter McWilliams
