However we may pity the mother whose health and even life is imperiled by the performance of her natural duty, there yet remains no sufficient reason for condoning the direct murder of the innocent
Pope Pius XI
Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the nonpharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.
John W. Gardner
Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won`t suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back-she will hear her heart
Paulo Coelho
None pities him that is in the snare, who warned before, would not beware
Robert Herrick
