Never wallow in your troubles; despair must be kept private and brief.
You can't drown your troubles. . . because troubles can swim.
Don't appeal to mercy to God the Father up in the sky, little man, because he's not at home and never was at home, and couldn't care less. What you do with yourself, whether you are happy or unhappy- live or die- is strictly your business and the universe doesn't care. In fact you may be the universe and the only cause of all your troubles. But, at best, the most you can hope for is comradeship with comrades no more divine (or just as divine) as you are. So quit sniveling and face up to it- 'Thou art God!'
The average man takes life as a trouble. He is in a chronic state of irritation at the whole performance. He does not learn to differentiate between troubles and difficulties, usually, until some real trouble bowls him over. He fusses about pin-pricks until a mule kicks him. Then he learns the difference.
A general and a bit of shooting makes you forget your troubles. . . it takes your mind off the cost of living.

Everybody's got some sin, but if it troubles your heart you're a gentle sinner, just a good soul gone wrong.
In war you see your own troubles; those of the enemy you cannot see. You must show confidence.
There was one public school for boys, and one for girls, but Jewish children were admitted in limited numbers - only ten to a hundred; and even the lucky ones had their troubles.
Prostitution happens to you because of troubles you had. In reality no woman would choose to do that.
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.
Forget your troubles and just get happy.
I'm trying to tell a story, to entertain. I try and do something that might just take people's minds off their troubles.
One of the many troubles of growing older is that it gets progressively harder to find a famous historical figure who hadn't yet amounted to anything by the time he was your age.
Lawyers make their cake by cooking up other people's troubles.
Troubles are as endless as pleasures are brief.
High self esteem people can surely be knocked down by an excess of troubles, but they are quickerto pick themselves up again.
For me it's about the character, not as much about the genre of it [movie]. I'm excited that I get to work and play interesting characters and I'm not just the girl who gets to play the girlfriend or the wife. I get to play real women who have struggles and troubles and passions and that's always what I hope to do no matter what format that lies in.
