Comfort: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Thoughts tending to content, flatter themselves, - That they are not the first of fortune's slaves, Nor shall not be the last; like silly beggars, Who, sitting in the stocks, refuge their shame,- That many have, and others must sit there, And in this thought they find a kind of ease, Bearing their own misfortunes on the back Of such as have before endur'd the like.— R. II. v. 5

How mightily, sometimes, we make us comforts of our losses of our losses— A. W. iv. 3
