The
unhappy derive comfort from the misfortunes of others.
-- Aesop

In
poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends
are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of
mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid
in their weakness, and those in the prime of life
they incite to noble deeds.
-- Aristotle

The
superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man
thinks of comfort.
-- Confucius
Music is amazing.
There's some metaphysical comfort where it allows you
to be isolated and alone
while telling you that you are not alone... truly, the
only cure for sadness is to share it with someone else.
-- Wayne Coyne

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties

person,
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.
-- George Eliot
"When
things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that
they could always be worse.
And when they are, we find hope in the thought that
things are so bad they have to get better."
-- Malcolm Forbes
We
all have something to offer.
It’s so important to be able to step out of our comfort
zone
and share the benefit of our experience with others
who are trying to find their way.
You can make a real difference and have real impact.
I haven’t experienced anything more satisfying than
that.
-- David Gregory (Meet The Press)
Economists
have provided capitalists with a comforting concept
called the "free market." It does not describe any part
of reality, at any place or time. It's a mantra conveniently
invoked when it is proposed that government do something
the faithful don't like, and just as conveniently ignored
whenever they want government to do something for them.
-- Edward S. Herman

Too
often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without
the discomfort of thought.

The
ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands
in moments of comfort and convenience, but where
he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I
was able to see faith as more than just a comfort
to the weary or a hedge against death; rather,
it was an active, palpable agent in the world.

Peace of mind comes when we find comfort in solitude
instead of lonlieness.
--
Robert Alan Silverstein
We
can only help make our lives and our world more
peaceful, when we ourselves feel peace. Peace
already exists within each of us, if we only allow
ourselves to feel its comfort. Peace of mind begins
when we stop thinking about how far we have to
go, or how hard the road has been, and just let
ourselves feel peace. Peace of mind gives us the
strength to keep trying and keep walking along
the path that we KNOW is right for our lives.

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. With respect
to luxuries and comforts, the wisest have even
lived a more simple and meagre life than the poor.
-- Henry David
Thoreau

Is
solace anywhere more comforting than in the arms
of a sister.
~Alice Walker

In
no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort.
If we are honest and if we have the will to win
we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution.
-- Wendell Wilkie
