comforts quotes

Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.

Even when a person has all of life’s comforts – good food, good shelter, a companion – he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

All strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise.

Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
