A starving child is a frightful sight. A starving vampire, even worse.
Well, if I can be of any help at all, you are in worse trouble than I thought.
I didn't think my day could get any worse until my best friend told me she might be going crazy. Again.
the lives we lead are determined, for better and worse, by our loss experiences.
We had 10 turnovers tonight. Each one gets worse as you go. It is like prior arrests: the 10th one may not have been that bad, but when you have had nine prior ones, it looks pretty bad.
Take each other for better or worse, but not for granted.
That's one of the remarkable things about life. It's never so bad that it can't get worse.
The better the coaching has become, the worse the game has become.
If nations always moved from one set of furnished rooms to another -- and always into a better set -- things might be easier, but the trouble is that there is no one to prepare the new rooms.

things are never so indescribably ghastly that they can't get worse.
Nothing is going to improve my hearing. I've only got to prevent it from getting worse.
travel never made a bore interesting; it only makes for a well-traveled bore, in the same way coffee makes for a wide-awake drunk. In fact, the more a bore travels, the worse he gets. The only advantage in it for his friends and family is that he isn't home as much.
I will eat anything, at least once. For better or worse.
No life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way you take it for example by seeing it how it could be worse and then being grateful it isn't.
You'll never meet a happy ungrateful person, or an unhappy grateful person because gratitude and happiness go together. Sometimes happiness precedes gratitude but often gratitude precedes happiness. The latter is achieved by realising things could be worse but aren't and so feeling relieved, grateful and happy.
Optimism means better than reality; pessimism means worse than reality. I'm a realist.
First, I was an idealist (that was early - fools are born, not made, you know); next I was a realist; now I am a pessimist, and, by Jove! if things get much worse I'll become a humorist.
