five motets for a time of mourning minerva mcgonagall & severus snape general | 6.5k words
here, at least, at the edge of the forest, life was trying to continue. the leaves were decaying, yes, but they would mulch the ground for things to creep and crawl, and rot into the earth to bring life forth anew. she heard birdsong, defiant in the morning air.
it reminded her of fawkes.
five snapshots from hogwarts castle, in that dreadful year when snape was headmaster.
this piece was written for week three of @ladiesofhpfest, which is on the theme of hogwarts hotties [you can find the masterlist for this week’s fics here].
and so - given the topic - its star couldn’t really be anyone else but our favourite strict scotswoman, minerva mcgonagall.
author’s notes under the cut
i really like the backstory given for mcgonagall on pottermore [which isn't something i say a lot about jkr’s post-series writing], which establishes her as the half-blood daughter of a witch and a presbyterian minister - particularly for the way this cultural-religious background explains the more dour aspects of her canon characterisation…
but i also really like the insight it gives into something which the books address only obliquely - the fact that witches and wizards with muggle connections find it difficult to exist in two worlds, and end up picking a side [or, indeed, picking one side - the magical one] accordingly.
this is something we see mostly clearly in canon with hermione - who gradually removes herself from her parents’ lives over the course of the series, well before the explicit break she forces between them in deathly hallows when she modifies their memories - but i think mcgonagall also makes a really interesting study of the phenomenon. the pottermore backstory mentions her breaking an engagement to a muggle man because she believed it would be impossible to make such a relationship work - not least because she recognised that her mother felt so limited and disjointed within her own mixed marriage [and i do think it’s really striking in canon that we don’t meet any mixed muggle-wizard marriages which actually seem to be successful…] - and i found the loneliness that this causes, and the contribution this loneliness makes to mcgonagall’s canonical flintiness, really interesting to draw out while writing this piece.
but i also found it very interesting to explore how decisively picking between her two worlds contributes to the more negative aspects of mcgonagall’s character, which are crucial to understand if we want to consider her with real nuance. something which is very striking about her in canon is that she - like many of the series’ “good guys” - is largely concerned with the maintenance of the status quo. the order of the phoenix is fighting for a world which is - essentially - the same as it always has been [one which contains a deeply entrenched class-system; one in which the oppression of non-human minorities is state-sanctioned; one in which muggles are condescendingly viewed as inept], with only a few cosmetic changes to make the state’s prejudice more polite.
we can see the way this lack of radicalism manifests itself in mcgonagall in canon - when she advises harry to keep his head down instead of antagonising dolores umbridge in order of the phoenix [which she reflects on in this piece]; when she stays in post following voldemort’s takeover of the school - but i wanted to emphasise in five motets the role that it played in snape’s decision to become a death eater. mcgonagall notes that she was aware of snape’s poverty in the muggle world and the isolation this brought to him in the wizarding one - and how this led to him embracing magic with the zeal of the convert [and it’s worth emphasising that whole-hearted conversion to a cause, religious or political or social, is a real-world risk-factor for radicalisation], but that she didn’t feel the need to act on this at the time.
much like dumbledore fails to act to prevent the radicalisation of the young voldemort.
mcgonagall’s relationship with dumbledore in canon - especially her profound loyalty to him - really stands out to me in that it’s so similar to harry’s. which means i always wonder how rattled she must have been during deathly hallows to discover that he’d kept her [and the rest of the order] in the dark not only about his background but about what harry had been sent off to do.
[i also imagine that - much like lupin - she accepted dumbledore’s assessment of snape’s loyalties while he was alive because she considered him basically infallible, and that she is hugely shaken by the revelation that dumbledore’s read on snape was apparently so wrong.]
so the first major theme of this piece is - unsurprisingly - faith. and - in particular - how faith has a magic of its own, even for those [like minerva’s father] who don’t have magical powers.
and the second is hope - which lives on the other side of the coin. i really liked writing the teachers choosing to hope that snape’s loyalties might not be as clear-cut as they had believed following dumbledore’s death, and choosing to hope that their faith in dumbledore to know what he was doing had not been misplaced.
hope - especially the quiet hope which lives in grieving and waiting - is a phenomenon which isn’t given a lot of credit in the series, since the genre conventions it uses foreground the inevitability of harry’s triumph. it’s really striking, for example, that even though harry becomes - at the end of deathly hallows - an explicit allegory for christ, with his walk into the forest to die for the salvation of the world mirroring christ’s walk to calvary and his resurrection from the dead mirroring… the obvious, he doesn’t really have experiences which are parallels for the events which bookend these in the easter story: christ struggling with what is being asked of him at gethsemane; being betrayed by judas; being sentenced to death at the whims of a hostile crowd; being denied by peter; and not being recognised by his followers on the road to emmaus.
but the triumphs which make up the christian liturgical year [christmas, easter, ascension day, etc.] are really small breaks in a cycle of mourning, waiting, and hoping - a constant circle of dying, grieving, and rising again, which is mirrored [as it is in this piece] by the constant cycle of regeneration in the natural world. four of the five feasts mentioned in this piece - all saints’ day, christmas eve, ash wednesday, and good friday - are ones which emphasise the twin forces of hope and grief. the fifth - pentecost - is the triumph which comes afterwards.
[this is also the reason why harry isn’t really present in this story. i thought it was important to foreground the fact that all of hogwarts’ students are affected by the long shadows of grieving and waiting which are caused by both wars, especially those who take a leading role in the hopefulness of resistance in deathly hallows. this is something which the books don’t really spend any time on - harry is frequently surprised, for example, to discover that people other than himself have relatives who were killed fighting the death eaters in the 1970s…]
in thinking about hope, though, this piece also thinks specifically about hope and gender. obviously, the christian references are to the centrality of women to the easter story - the women who visit christ’s tomb, find it empty, and believe in the resurrection far quicker than the male disciples - but what i really wanted to focus on in five motets was how feminine-coded snape is in canon. the things mcgonagall describes as “women’s ways of being” in this piece - especially the way that love endures and atonement takes place in secret faith, solemn silence, and mournful hope - are all ways that snape’s love, guilt, and grief over lily manifests itself.
[and, finally, the five motets, in some of their most magnificent choral settings: justorum animae; ne irascaris domine; miserere mei, deus; stabat mater; and veni creator spiritus.]

Fix-It #3: The "Golden Days" of series 3
And they lived happily ever after – until they didn't
But that's series 3 for you… the wheel turns, nothing is ever new.
Because, at first, Mycroft only needs to make sure that Sherlock doesn't die in Eastern Europe…
… and then, Mycroft only needs to make sure that Sherlock doesn't die in Eastern Europe.
This is part #6 of the "Game Theory" series (x).
Project Moriarty is dead. Long live project Moriarty.
(And, yes, Andrew’s character is probably still alive too; it's not like anyone of importance to the plot ever really died in this show…)
Project Moriarty (x) had to "die", because it had become too dangerous to continue – at least under that name. But the idea was too good to scrap it entirely, so I'm fairly convinced that business did more or less continue as usual (after all, we did have someone called "Moran" who fits the description of a suitable successor, but more of that later).
Given that the actual "network" of criminals believed James Moriarty to be a real person / consulting criminal, there's no way anyone of them would have swallowed that someone called "Richard Brook" had only impersonated the criminal mastermind.
^This whole story about Sherlock Holmes inventing Moriarty and killing that actor? Surely, the criminal underground must know there's something fishy about that story; for them, James Moriarty, the consulting criminal, was real. (x)
And yet, Moriarty's "old acquaintances" would not be stupid enough to get themselves into trouble by setting the record straight; so, the rest of the world continues to believe Sherlock Holmes was a fraud who invented his own nemesis for the next two years.
Until one day, suddenly...
… nOW ISN'T THAT A TURNIP
Richard Brook did indeed prove to be the creation of James Moriarty, and it was Sherlock Holmes who had been the real victim in this game the entire time.
I do wonder what did cause them to reopen that investigation and now actually find the necessary proof for "the truth", because, let's be honest: It's been two years. Everyone's gotten on with their lives. And Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty are both putrefying away in their respective holes in the ground somewhere.
And only very few people know that this actually isn't true.
Sherlock Holmes is still alive – and:
Many Happy Returns
Having faked his own death, Sherlock has been busy "taking down Moriarty's network" to make sure that no revenge is wrecked upon the people he loves. Very careful not to attract any attention to himself (and the fact that he is still alive), he is not taking credit for any of the cases he gets himself involved in, and generally tries to keep a very low profile.
But even the great Sherlock Holmes can't vanish into thin air completely, no matter how hard he might have tried – and if even Anderson, of all people, can trace his steps...
… then so can Mycroft.
It may be a disgrace putting one's little brother into danger like that (x), but Mycroft of all people would have made sure to keep a weather eye on Sherlock during these two years.
(And on the people dear to Sherlock as well…)
Which is why it's no surprise that Mycroft knew exactly when it was time for him to "wade in", because Sherlock had gotten himself into serious trouble – again.
But how could Mycroft justify doing all this legwork himself in order to save his sibling, whom he supposedly does not care about?
There will always come a time when we need Sherlock Holmes
And that time has finally come.
Because, obviously, the great Sherlock Holmes is the only person able to prevent a terrorist attack on Parliament
An attack which Mycroft and his people have solid information on, because some brave agent apparently gave his life in order to give them a very cryptic, but vital clue. (x)
An attack which is so imminent, that there is still enough time for Mycroft to track down Sherlock, who's currently deep undercover somewhere in Eastern Europe, and smuggle his way up some military ranks in Serbia to get his brother back home.
(It’s not like Mycroft doesn’t have the whole MI6 at his disposal and therefore could have chosen any other agent who was already in London for this job...)
And there's even enough time for Sherlock to shave, and to be properly welcomed back amongst all his friends, solve some very unrelated cases together with Molly, play deduction with Mycroft, meet up with train guy, and save John from a random bonfire-
… it's not quite adding up, is it?
Sometimes a deception is so audacious, so outrageous that you can’t see it even when it’s staring you in the face.
Maybe even a bit… too specific?
Let's look at how the penny dropped for Sherlock: He thinks he finally has figured out the true meaning of Mycroft's oh-so-valuable piece of intel, and that it was literally a secret message disguised as a stupid pun…
… when actually this clue – on its own! – wouldn't have done anything at all to help Sherlock solve this case!
What did get him to draw the correct conclusions were two other things which someone poked Sherlock's nose into:
(Yeah, I did mean the "nose" part quite literally.)
What a coincidence that a completely unrelated Chullo left by one of Sherlock's apparently random clients leads Sherlock to being shown the decisive bit of security footage which features one of the people he was surveilling in regards to the terrorist attack finally (!) behaving suspiciously, and conveniently enough tells him all he needs to know about the bomb and where to find it.
Not. (x)
All things considered, Sherlock ended up being suspiciously successful in this matter despite lacking most of the necessary skills or experience needed for fighting terrorism; after all, things like that don't usually come within the province of a private detective.
But obviously, the great Sherlock Holmes is the only person who can prevent a terrorist attack on Parliament.
A terrorist attack that was literally set up for Sherlock Holmes to prevent, that is
And, yes, the person responsible for setting up this "fake" terrorist attack and assigning Sherlock with the mission of preventing it is obviously Mycroft – he is the only person with means and motives to put that bomb in the tunnel under Parliament.
But why would Mycroft do this?
In his defense: He never meant for the bomb to actually explode.
He just meant to frighten everyone. A bit.
Looking at the more political motivations behind this scheme, we need to talk about the anti-terrorism Bill – which the House is supposed to vote on in an all-night sitting on the day that coincides both with Guy Fawkes Day and the planned date for the terrorist attack.
The "most important vote of this parliament" – and it's about to fall through miserably.
Which is no surprise, really. Looking at what such a bill might entail…
… it's obvious that people aren't quite happy about the government trying to establish such a thing. They don't see the safety and protection as a benefit if it's restricting their privacy like this – and, after all, the threat doesn't seem all too big at the moment; those politicians surely are exaggerating (as always). Are such measures really necessary?
Well... pulling off a (fake) terrorist attack aimed at one of Britain's most iconic landmarks, literally on the day of the sitting Guy Fawkes Day, should be intimidating and sensational enough to convince people that a bit more surveillance might actually be a good thing, because how else could such attacks possibly be prevented (in the future)?
There can't always conveniently be a hero / consulting detective at hand...
Sherlock needed to be considered a hero, so Mycroft made him a dragon to slay
Evidently, Sherlock saving the day makes for a great story, and now completely restores his reputation in no time.
Sherlock Holmes is back from the dead, and the hero again
The way things played out, no one except Sherlock could have found this bomb – because Mycroft couldn't have nudged any other agent so close to the solution of this case that they were literally already tripping over it–
... at least not without them noticing that there might be some ulterior (dubious) motive behind Mycroft feeding them all these incredibly specific puns clues.
(Also, any other agent would have become hella suspicious about the bomb having an Off switch, but more about that later.)
By assigning Sherlock with this mission, Mycroft made use of the fact that he is Sherlock's emotional blind spot.
Mycroft is Sherlock's Big Brother – knowing things is what he does
And Sherlock would never suspect Mycroft of pulling off something as shady as a faked attempt to blow up Parliament; or, at least, he would never believe to be "stupid" enough to actually fall victim to Mycroft's manipulations himself.
Caring is not an advantage, indeed
But Mycroft did not assign Sherlock with this mission in order to prove that he's only the stupid little brother who can be played like a fiddle.
Mycroft needed Sherlock to solve a Big, Sensational case right after his "resurrection" in order to completely restore his reputation, and to prove that there will always come a time when they need Sherlock Holmes.
Because needing Sherlock Holmes was the essential premise for his comeback.
And Mycroft managed to come up with a plan that would not only serve his own political goals, but also cleverly hide the actual reason why he did all the legwork to rescue his little brother from Serbia.
But if Mycroft cared so much about his little brother, why would he put him into such a "dangerous" situation after literally just saving him from being beaten and tortured?
Let me ask you a counter question:
Why was there an Off switch?
Ehm…….. no.
A transport lock or something similar, yes, I totally support this – when you go through the trouble of making a bomb and picking the place you want to blow up, you really wouldn't want the bomb to explode prematurely – but once the thing is in place, and activated, REMOTELY (!), simply flicking an easily accessible switch on the thing itself should not be enough to switch off a bomb the size of a train carriage.
What even is bomb disposal, literally anyone can use a goddamn switch!
It is ridiculous, and it doesn't (seem to) make any sense.
Unless if the bomb never was meant to actually explode.
A bomb in a tunnel directly under the House on the day Parliament plans to vote on the anti-terrorism Bill, which just happens to be November 5th… this whole thing could only be more Guy Fawkes if it was bound to fail all along–
Oh.
^Lord Moran, super terrorist.
Looking at the blatant "subtext" of him being the replacement of Jim Moriarty, i.e. the scapegoat for all of the project's machinations, he's possibly just there in order to remind us that even if "Moriarty" is dead, the project isn't. There are just different players now.
So, let's move on and talk a bit about more Sherlock's role in this play – and, more importantly, how Mycroft is a master at exploiting Sherlock's weakness.
Because only Sherlock Holmes is stupid enough to believe that an Off switch on a bomb is clever
He finds a bomb that happens to have an Off switch, which in itself is very unusual, and yet Sherlock doesn't stop and doubt it for a moment. Quite the opposite. The Off switch is there, it must have been put there for a reason, so it has to mean something; it has to be clever. Why could it be clever? Oh, obviously: If anything goes wrong, it's a way for the clever terrorists to make sure they don't blow themselves up. How clever.
(I mean, another method could be to remote control the bomb and safely activate it from your hotel room while you're sitting on your bed all comfy, watching the news on the telly, but what do I know…)
But since Sherlock believes the terror alert to be legit, because Mycroft has solid information that it will happen, and because Mycroft assigned him with this mission, of course the bomb is an actual threat.
Therefore, there can’t be anything fishy about that Off switch, either.
And it definitely wasn’t put there so that
Sherlock would be able to successfully deactivate it – all on his own,
and therefore not only not be blown up,
but also be able to take all the credit for doing so himself, and therefore be the hero of this story.
</sarcasm>
The dragon is slain, and finally all is well
Sherlock is safe and back home, and with Moriarty being "dead" and his entire network "dismantled" – by the great Sherlock Holmes himself – there's no one left to take revenge for their boss's death on Sherlock or his loved ones.
The reputation of the detective who died in disgrace two years ago also is 100% restored, and he's happy to pick up where he left and solve crimes together with John – and Mary.
Also, there's a wedding coming up, and love is amazing, fluffy clouds and little birds are amazing (x) – but that's for another story.
The "Golden Days" of series 3 – when everything was fine, and Mycroft finally didn't have to Worry about his little brother anymore.
Until... that happened:
And that …
… and … that.
*clears throat*
Oh, Sherlock… What have you done?
A cold-blooded murder in front of a dozen cameras and witnesses is quite something else than an alleged murder / double "suicide" on a secluded rooftop.
Even for Mycroft Holmes, this is going to be very hard to "fix".
Because now, Sherlock actually is a murderer.
But he will fix it.
Like a proper big brother.
Note: In this post, I was partly redoing a much older meta of mine, "Why There Was An Off Switch" (x), but now having moved on from M-Theory;
Mycroft is not UNDER Moriarty’s thumb – Mycroft IS Moriarty’s thumb (x).
Up next: Fix-it #4
Link to part #7 (x). /// will be added later

I believe it would be a remedy for everything. – Teresa of Avila • I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy. – Albert Camus • I am under obligations to most of those advisers for the pains and interest they took in my case; but only to one for an effectual remedy. – William Banting • I believed in belief, for its own shining sake. To believe in the face of utter hopelessness, every article of evidence to the contrary, to ignore apparent catastrophe – what other choice was there? We do it every day, I realized. We are so much stronger than we imagine, and belief is one of the most valiant and long-lived human characteristics. To believe, when all along we humans know that nothing can cure the briefness of this life, that there is no remedy for our basic mortality, that is a form of bravery. To continue believing in yourself, believing in the doctors, believing in thetreatent, believing in whatever I chose to believe in, that was the most important thing. – Lance Armstrong • I came in contact with every known Indian anarchist in London. Their bravery impressed me, but I felt that their zeal was misguided. I felt that violence was no remedy for India’s ills, and that her civilisation required the use of a different and higher weapon for self-protection. – Hind Swaraj – Mahatma Gandhi • I can get no remedy against this consumption of the purse: borrowing only lingers and lingers it out, but the disease is incurable. – William Shakespeare • I did not go to the Supreme Court on behalf of a class of women. I wasn’t pursuing any legal remedy to my unwanted pregnancy. I did not go to the federal courts for relief. I went to Sarah Weddington asking her if she knew how I could obtain an abortion. She and Linda Coffey said they didn’t know where to get one. They lied to me just like I lied to them. Sarah already had an abortion. She knew where to get one. Sarah and Linda were just looking for somebody, anybody, to further their own agenda. I was their willing dupe. For this, I will forever be ashamed. – Norma McCorvey • I don’t know anyone who enjoys going to the hospital. To help remedy this, I got an idea to create what a Laugh Room in the pediatric ward of hospitals. – Joseph Barbera • I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion. – Thomas Jefferson • I like a good beer. Of course, I’ll drink a bad one too. Let no person thirst for lack of real ale! Thank god for long-necked bottles, the angel’s remedy. – Tom Petty • I mostly want to remind her of the recipes of healing, and give her my own made-on-the spot remedy for the easing of her pain. I tell her, “Get a pen. Stop crying so you can write this down and start working on it tonight.” My remedy is long. But the last item on the list says: “When you wake up and find yourself living someplace where there is nobody you love and trust, no community, it is time to leave town – to pack up and go (you can even go tonight). And where you need to go is any place where there are arms that can hold you, that will not let you go. – Bell Hooks • I object. I object to any killing at all. You know, it’s terrible what happened and I think retaliation definitely makes sense and it’s definitely one option. But, personally, I prefer peace. You know, maybe I’m just being ignorant and shortsighted, you know, it’s true I’m not running the government, I’m not running the United States. I just don’t think that killing people is a good way to remedy people dying. Martin Luther King Jr. said that you can murder a murderer but you can never murder murder itself. – Tre Cool • I speak to people in the languagethey understand. First I have a dialogue, if that is not understood I speak inanother language. There is no remedy for this. – Raj Thackeray • I tell them that if they will occupy themselves with the study of mathematics they will find in it the best remedy against the lusts of the flesh. – Thomas Mann • If feeling anxious about anything Dr Bachs night time rescue remedy is great. Sometimes a bath before bed helps. Burning Lavender or Clary Sage in the room before retiring. Try not to work on my computer very late and then bed straight after. Getting enough exercise definitely helps sleep. – Rachel Ryan • If God causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that He makes is good and will stand forever. If the transgression of God’s law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. It is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine Mind, which causes the belief of sickness. The remedy is Truth, not matter,–the truth that disease is unreal. – Mary Baker Eddy • If I were a physician, and if I were allowed to prescribe just one remedy for all the ills of the modern world, I would prescribe silence. For even if the Word of God were proclaimed in the modern world, how could one hear it with so much noise? Therefore, create silence. – Soren Kierkegaard • If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence. – Louis D. Brandeis �� If you are too fond of new remedies, first you will not cure your patients; secondly, you will have no patients to cure. – Astley Cooper • If you have a wounded heart, touch it as little as you would an injured eye. There are only two remedies for the suffering of the soul: hope and patience. – Pythagoras • Ignorance is the evil – knowledge will be the remedy. Knowledge not of what sort of beings we shall be hereafter, or what is beyond the skies, but a knowledge pertaining to terra firma, and we may have all the power, goodness and love that we have been taught belongs to God himself. – Ernestine Rose • I’m hoping that we’re not getting to Second Amendment remedies. I hope the vote will be the cure for the Harry Reid problems. – Sharron Angle • I’m in love! Your advice, what are they? Love has poisoned me! Your remedies, what are they? I hear them shout: “fast, Bind him feet!” But if my heart that has gone mad! Those strings on my feet What is the point? – Rumi • Impeachment is not a remedy for private wrongs; its a method of removing someone whose continued presence in office would cause grave danger to the nation. – Charles Ruff • In a few more days I’d anticipated telling Veronika that our injections had cured her heart condition. But in light of her unscheduled departure form Villette my telling that particular lie will not be required. The majority of people who attempt suicide repeat that attempt until they succeed. I took a risk in lying to her about her condition, i decided to test the only remedy i have come to have any faith in: awareness of life. Until she finds out from some other doctor that she is perfectly healthy. She’ll consider each day a miracle. Which in my view it is. – Paulo Coelho • In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land. – Albert Camus • In all of history, we have found just one cure for error—a partial antidote against making and repeating grand, foolish mistakes, a remedy against self-deception. That antidote is criticism. – David Brin • In ART as in Life the Best Way to REMEDY mistakes is to take advantage of them. – Walter Darby Bannard • In every case, the remedy is to take action. Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn and exactly what you need to do to learn it. BEING CLEAR KILLS FEAR. Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world. – Miguel de Cervantes • In existing States a fresh law is looked upon as a remedy for evil. Instead of themselves altering what is bad, people begin by demanding a law to alter it. – Peter Kropotkin • In republican government the legislative authority necessarily predominates. The remedy for this . . . is to divide the legislature into different branches; and to render them by different modes of election, and different principles of action, as little connected with each other as the nature of their common functions, and their common dependence on the society, will admit. – James Madison • In such misfortunes my Mother was of an heroic spirit, in suffering patiently when there was no remedy, and being industrious where she thought she could help. – Margaret Cavendish • Interestingly, God’s remedy for Elijah’s depression was not a refresher course in theology but food and sleep… Before God spoke to him at all, Elijah was fed twice and given a good chance to sleep. Only then, and very gently, did God confront him with his error. This is always God’s way. Having made us as human beings, He respects our humanness and treats us with integrity. That is, He treats us true to the truth of who we are. It is human beings and not God who have made spirituality impractical. – Os Guinness • It is a persistent evil to persecute a man who belongs to the grace of God. It is a calamity without remedy to hate the happy. – Cyprian • It is frightening that in recent years such an increase has occurred in acts of terrorism, which have even reached peaceful countries such as ours. And as a “remedy”, more and more security forces are established to protect the lives of individual men and women. – Alva Myrdal • It seems to me that the least deserving recipients of wealth are inheritors. Further, there are many indications that inheritors often have trouble adjusting to their unearned inheritance. An inheritance tax would de facto help remedy this. – Julian Robertson • It shall be my pleasure to remedy it. First, it is not your strength or your speed that draws me. It’s your…everything. Your laugh, your wit, your emotions and the way they change. Your courage, your sweetness, your near obsessive delight in cookies. Second, you are indeed a prize. You’ve made me want what no one else ever had. A communion of bodies.” -Zacharel to Annabelle – Gena Showalter • It’s good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years. I hope that’s not where we’re going. But, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies. – Sharron Angle • It’s not my business to remedy deaths! It’s my business to tell stories. Lyra and the other heroines didn’t come with placards saying, “Make this a feminist story!” I’m glad people enjoy seeing a female protagonist in a big adventure story, but I didn’t do it for political reasons. – Philip Pullman • Keeing busy” is the remedy for all the ills in America. It’s also the means by which the creative impulse is destroyed. – Joyce Carol Oates • Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat… Never take yourself too seriously. – Og Mandino • Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last. – Jack Nicklaus • Let us face a pluralistic world in which there are no universal churches, no single remedy for all diseases, no one way to teach or write or sing, no magic diet, no world poets, and no chosen races, but only the wretched and wonderfully diversified human race. – Jacques Barzun • Let’s find and remedy all our weaknesses before our enemies get a chance to say a word. That is what Charles Darwin did. …When Darwin completed the manuscript of his immortal book “The Origin Of Species” he realized that the publication of his revolutionary concept of creation would rock the intellectual and religious worlds. So he became his own critic and spent another 15 years checking his data, challenging his reasoning, and criticizing his conclusions. – Dale Carnegie • Life is thickly sown with thorns. I know no other remedy than to pass rapidly over them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes the greater is their power to harm us. – Voltaire • Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It’s a palliative. The remedy is death. – Nicolas Chamfort • Many doctors are drawn to this profession (psychology) because they have an innate deficiency of insight into the motives, feelings and thoughts of others, a deficiency they hope to remedy by ingesting masses of data. – William S. Burroughs • Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter could be said to remedy anything. – Kurt Vonnegut • Medicine is an incoherent assemblage of incoherent ideas, and is, perhaps, of all the physiological Sciences, that which best shows the caprice of the human mind. What did I say! It is not a Science for a methodical mind. It is a shapeless assemblage of inaccurate ideas, of observations often puerile, of deceptive remedies, and of formulae as fantastically conceived as they are tediously arranged. – Marie Francois Xavier Bichat • Men who have flattered themselves into this opinion of their own abilities, look down on all who waste their lives over books, as a race of inferior beings condemned by nature to perpetual pupilage, and fruitlessly endeavouring to remedy their barrenness by incessant cultivation, or succour their feebleness by subsidiary strength. They presume that none would be more industrious than they, if they were not more sensible of deficiences; and readily conclude, that he who places no confidence in his own powers owes his modesty only to his weakness. – Samuel Johnson • Mirth, and even cheerfulness, when employed as remedies in low spirits, are like hot water to a frozen limb. – Benjamin Rush • Moral improvement (or perfecting) require an evolution leading to a higher consciousness, which is the true torch of life; it is what we have failed too much to appreciate, and that which would be fatal to fail to appreciate any longer (“pluslongtemps”, Fr.); For if we do not take it upon ourselves to remedy in time to the moral colapse (or bankruptcy) that already threaten, the whole civilisation will risks to disappear. – African Spir • More than half of all great remedies known to medical history have come from empiricists…’irregulars’…of no or little scientific training. There is no reason to believe that conditions have essentially changed. – Alexis Carrel • Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen, And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears. – Khalil Gibran • Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. – Oliver Sacks • Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity. – Oliver Sacks • My garden does not whet the appetite; it satisfies it. It does not provoke thirst through heedless indulgence, but slakes it by proffering its natural remedy. Amid such pleasures as these have I grown old. – Epicurus • Neglect of mathematics work injury to all knowledge, since he who is ignorant of it cannot know the other sciences or things of this world. And what is worst, those who are thus ignorant are unable to perceive their own ignorance, and so do not seek a remedy. – Roger Bacon • No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage. – William Shakespeare • Nobody has any right to find life uninteresting or unrewarding who sees within the sphere of his own activity a wrong he can help to remedy, or within himself an evil he can hope to overcome. – Charles William Eliot • Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies – Francois Fenelon • Nutrition is the only remedy that can bring full recovery and can be used with any treatment. Remember, food is our best medicine! – Bernard Jensen
• Odors have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions, or will. The persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off, it enters into us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, imbues us totally. There is no remedy for it. – Patrick Süskind • Of all the home remedies, a good wife is best. – Kin Hubbard • Of several remedies, the physician should choose the least sensational. – Hippocrates • On any other hypothesis, the delegation of judicial power would annul the authority delegating it; and the concurrence of this department with the others in usurped powers, might subvert forever, and beyond the possible reach of any rightful remedy, the very Constitution which all were instituted to preserve. – James Madison • Once one has seen God, what is the remedy? – Sylvia Plath • One great flaw in the reforming passion is that in its eagerness to remedy social wrongs it tends to neglect, certainly to undervalue, the experience of those whose lives it wishes to improve. – Irving Howe • One of the most beneficial of remedies is persisting in du’a. – Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya • Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven. – William Shakespeare • Patience is the best remedy for every trouble. – Plautus • Petruchio: Come, come, you wasp; i’ faith, you are too angry. Katherine: If I be waspish, best beware my sting. Petruchio: My remedy is then, to pluck it out. Katherine: Ay, if the fool could find where it lies. Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail. Katherine: In his tongue. Petruchio: Whose tongue? Katherine: Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell. Petruchio: What, with my tongue in your tail? Nay, come again, Good Kate; I am a gentleman. – William Shakespeare • Philosophy finds talkativeness a disease very difficult and hard to cure. For its remedy, conversation, requires hearers: but talkative people hear nobody, for they are ever prating. And the first evil this inability to keep silence produces is an inability to listen. – Plutarch • Philosophy, like medicine, has plenty of drugs, few good remedies, and hardly any specific cures. – Nicolas Chamfort • Plant diseases, drought, desolation, despair were recurrent catastrophes during the ages – and the ancient remedies: supplications to supernatural spirits or gods. – Norman Borlaug • Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy. – Paracelsus • Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. – Groucho Marx • Preventives of evil are far better than remedies; cheaper and easier of application, and surer in result. – Tryon Edwards • Pride is a deeply rooted ailment of the soul. The penalty is misery; the remedy lies in the sincere, life-long cultivation of humility, which means true self-evaluation and a proper perspective toward past, present and future. – Robert Gordis • Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. – Louis D. Brandeis • Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman. – Louis D. Brandeis • Receive Communion often, very often…there you have the sole remedy, if you want to be cured. Jesus has not put this attraction in your heart for nothing. – Therese of Lisieux • Religion has ever filled the mind of man with darkness, and kept him in ignorance of his real duties and true interests. It is by dispelling the clouds and phantoms of religion, that we shall discover truth, morality and reason. Religion diverts us from the causes of evils, and from these remedies which nature advocates, far from curing; it only aggravates, perpetuates and multiplies them. – Baron d’Holbach • Remedy your deficiencies,and your merits will take care of themselves. – Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton • Revenge is fever in our own blood, to be cured only by letting the blood of another; but the remedy too often produces a relapse, which is remorse–a malady far more dreadful than the first disease, because it is incurable. – Charles Caleb Colton • Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all – the apathy of human beings. – Helen Keller • Science stands, a too competant servant, behind her wrangling underbred masters, holding out resources, devices, and remedies they are too stupid to use. … And on its material side, a modern Utopia must needs present these gifts as taken. – George Herbert • Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever. – Jefferson Davis • Seek the outstanding mental conflict in the person, give him the remedy that will overcome that conflict and all the hope and encouragement you can, then the virtue within him will, itself do all the rest. – Edward Bach • She had discovered that the best remedy for heartache was trying to make herself useful to others. – Lisa Kleypas • Since long I’ve held silence a remedy for harm. – Aeschylus • Sitting back in the evening, stargazing and stroking your dog, is an infallible remedy. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that’s beautiful. – Rashida Jones • Socialism has never and nowhere been at first a working-class movement. It is by no means an obvious remedy for the obvious evil which the interests of that class will necessarily demand. It is a construction of theorists. – Friedrich August von Hayek • Spending some time getting quiet can really be the best remedy for tangled situations. Taking a step back from all the emotion, frustration, and exhaustion to sit quietly with Jesus will do more to untangle a mess than anything else I’ve ever found. – Lysa TerKeurst • Substantial progress toward better things can rarely be taken without developing new evils requiring new remedies. – William Howard Taft • Suicide is not a remedy – James A. Garfield • The atonement of Jesus Christ is the only remedy and rest for my soul. – Martin Van Buren • The best remedy for a bruised heart is not, as so many people think, repose upon a manly bosom. Much more efficacious are honest work, physical activity, and the sudden acquisition of wealth. – Dorothy L. Sayers • The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk. – Joseph Joubert • The best remedy for anger is delay. – Brigham Young • The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. – Anne Frank • The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be. – Anne Frank • The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside – Anne Frank • The best remedy for what ails me is being with you here under the sun. – Christopher Paolini • The blindness of men is the most dangerous effect of their pride; it seems to nourish and augment it; it deprives them of knowledge of remedies which can solace their miseries and can cure their faults. – Francois de La Rochefoucauld • The fact that I have no remedy for all the sorrows of the world is no reason for my accepting yours. It simply supports the strong probability that yours is a fake. – H. L. Mencken • The flame will cool tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow…. But someone must see this already today, and speak heretically today about tomorrow. Heretics are the only (bitter) remedy against the entropy of human thought. – Yevgeny Zamyatin • The greatest remedy for anger is delay. – Thomas Paine • The heart which grief hath cankered, Hath one unfailing remedy – the Tankard. – Charles Stuart Calverley • The liberal party is a party which believes that, as new conditions an problems arise beyond the power of men and women to meet as individuals, it becomes the duty of the government itself to find new remedies with which to meet them. – Franklin D. Roosevelt • The magnitude of this evil among us is so deeply felt, and so universally acknowledged, that no merit could be greater than that of devising a satisfactory remedy for it. – James Madison • The moment when a man’s head drops off is seldom or never, I am inclined to think, precisely the most agreeable of his life. Nevertheless, like the greater part of our misfortunes, even so serious a contingency brings its remedy and consolation with it, if the sufferer will but make the best, rather than the worst, of the accident which has befallen him. – Nathaniel Hawthorne • The only remedy against hunger is reasonable birth control. – Friedrich Durrenmatt • The possible redemption from the predicament of irreversibility──of being unable to undo what one has done──is the faculty of forgiving. The remedy for unpredictability, for the chaotic uncertainty of the future, is contained in the faculty to make and keep promises. Both faculties depend upon plurality, on the presence and acting of others, for no man can forgive himself and no one can be bound by a promise made only to himself. – Hannah Arendt • The problem with deterrence – apparently sometimes forgotten by our former presidents – is that it is not static, but a creature of the moment, captive to impression, and nursed on action, not talk. It must be maintained hourly and can erode or be lost with a single act of failed nerve, despite all the braggadocio of threatened measures. And, once gone, the remedies needed for its restoration are always more expensive, deadly – and controversial – than would have been its simple maintenance. – Victor Davis Hanson • The real truth is, the number of convicts is too overwhelming for the means of proper and effectual punishment. I despair of any remedy but that which I wish I could hope for – a great reduction in the amount of crime. – Robert Peel • The remedy against want is to moderate your desires. – Saadi • The remedy for life’s broken pieces is not classes, workshops or books. Don’t try to heal the broken pieces. Just forgive. – Iyanla Vanzant • The remedy for most marital stress is not in divorce. It is in repentance and forgiveness, in sincere expressions of charity and service. It is not in separation. It is in simple integrity that leads a man and a woman to square up their shoulders and meet their obligations. It is found in the Golden Rule, a time-honored principle that should first and foremost find expression in marriage. – Gordon B. Hinckley • The remedy for thirst? It is the opposite of the one for a dog bite: run always after a dog, he’ll never bite you; drink always before thirst, and it will never overtake you. – Francois Rabelais • The remedy for wrongs is to forget them. – Publilius Syrus • The remedy is worse than the disease. – Francis Bacon • The remedy now is two scotches and an aspirin, I think. – Harry Sinden • The right remedy for the trade cycle is not to be found in abolishing booms and thus keeping us permanently in a semi-slump; but in abolishing slumps and thus keeping us permanently in a quasi-boom. – John Maynard Keynes • The rights of copyright holders need to be protected, but some draconian remedies that have been suggested would create more problems than they would solve. – Patrick Leahy • The spectacle of modern investment markets has sometimes moved me towards the conclusion that to make the purchase of an investment permanent and indissoluble, like marriage, except by reason of death or other grave cause, might be a useful remedy for our contemporary evils. For this would force the investor to direct his mind to the long-term prospects and to those only. – John Maynard Keynes • The standard formulation on remedy is that it ought to cure past violations and prevent their recurrence. That’s what antitrust is all about. – Charles James • The thought that all experience will be lost at the moment of my death makes me feel pain and fear… What a waste, decades spent building up experience, only to throw it all away… We remedy this sadness by working. For example, by writing, painting, or building cities. – Umberto Eco • The true remedy for most evils is none other than liberty, unlimited and complete liberty, liberty in every field of human endeavor. – Gustave de Molinari • The world’s one and only remedy is the cross. – Charles Spurgeon • There are many evils in this country. The only remedy for every one of them is freedom for the nation. – Kalki Krishnamurthy • There are several remedies which will cure love, but there are no infallible ones. – Francois de La Rochefoucauld • There are some remedies worse than disease. – Sara Shepard • There are very few errors and false doctrines of which the beginning may not be traced up to unsound views about the corruption of human nature. Wrong views of the disease will always bring with them wrong views of the remedy. Wrong views of the corruption of human nature will always carry with them wrong views of the grand antidote and cure of that corruption. – J. C. Ryle • There is no evil in the world without a remedy. – Jacopo Sannazaro • There is no remedy for death–or birth–except to hug the spaces in between. Live loud. Live wide. Live tall. – Jim Crace • There is no remedy for love but to love more. – Henry David Thoreau • There is no remedy so easy as books, which if they do not give cheerfulness, at least restore quiet to the most troubled mind. – Mary Wortley Montagu • There is no remedy, but you must either turn or burn. – Joseph Alleine • There is one weakness in people for which there is no remedy. It is the universal weakness of LACK OF AMBITION! – Napoleon Hill • There is remedy for all things except death – Don Quixote De La Mancha – Miguel de Cervantes • Things without all remedy should be without regard: what’s done is done. – William Shakespeare • This paranoid Islam, which blames outsider, ‘infidels’, for all the ills of Muslim societies, and whose proposed remedy is the closing of those societies to the rival project of modernity, is presently the fastest growing version of Islam in the world. – Salman Rushdie • This truth is a remedy against spiritual pride, namely, that none should account himself better before God than others, though perhaps adorned with greater gifts, and endowments. – Johann Arndt • This world is full of remedies. But you have no remedy until God opens a window for you. You may not be aware of that remedy just now. In the hour of need it will be made clear to you. The Prophet said God made a remedy for every pain. – Rumi • Thus the right of nullification meant by Mr. Jefferson is the natural right, which all admit to be a remedy against insupportable oppression. – James Madison • Tidy fees are the most effective remedy, both for the doctor and the patient. – Dario Fo • Time is the greatest remedy for anger. – Seneca the Younger • To be truthful, some writers stop you dead in your tracks by making you see your own work in the most unflattering light. Each of us will meet a different harbinger of personal failure, some innocent genius chosen by us for reasons having to do with what we see as our own inadequacies. The only remedy to this I have found is to read a writer whose work is entirely different from another, though not necessarily more like your own—a difference that will remind you of how many rooms there are in the house of art. – Francine Prose • To cure us of our immoderate love of gain, we should seriously consider how many goods there are that money will not purchase, and these the best; and how many evils there are that money will not remedy, and these the worst. – Charles Caleb Colton • To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy. – Hippocrates • turn and turn and turn again you see the what, but not the when remedy and wrong entwine and so they form a single vine – Suzanne Collins • Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favor compared with the products of nature, the living cell of the plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life. – Thomas A. Edison • Upon this subject, the habits of our whole species fall into three great classes–useful labour, useless labour and idleness. Of these the first only is meritorious; and to it all the products of labour rightfully belong; but the two latter, while they exist, are heavy pensioners upon the first, robbing it of a large portion of it’s just rights. The only remedy for this is to, as far as possible, drive useless labour and idleness out of existence. – Abraham Lincoln • Vegetarianism is not implicitly important for the mental progress or the intellectual development, unless it is supposed to be a remedy to clean the body from slag. A temporary abstinence from meat or animal food is indicated only for very specific magic operations as a sort of preparation, and even then only for a certain period. All this is to be considered with respect to sexual life. – Franz Bardon • War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want. – William Tecumseh Sherman • We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks if it were not for the divine storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience. – Charles Spurgeon • We attach our feelings to the moment when we were hurt, endowing it with immortality. And we let it assault us every time it comes to mind. It travels with us, sleeps with us, hovers over us while we make love, and broods over us while we die. Our hate does not even have the decency to die when those we hate die-for it is a parasite sucking OUR blood, not theirs. There is only one remedy for it. [forgiveness] – Lewis B. Smedes • We grow through investigation, and to investigate we need experience. We tend to repeat what we have not understood. If we are sensitive and intelligent, we need not suffer. Pain is a call for attention and the penalty of carelessness. Intelligent and compassionate action is the only remedy. – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj • We must often draw the comparison between time and eternity. This is the remedy of all our troubles. How small will the present moment appear when we enter that great ocean. – Elizabeth Ann Seton • We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. – Mother Teresa • We waste the power in impatience which, if, otherwise employed, might remedy the evil. – Robert Aris Willmott • Well used are those cruelties (if it is permitted to speak well of evil) that are carried out in a single stroke, done out of necessity to protect oneself, and are not continued but are instead converted into the greatest possible benefits for the subjects. Badly used are those cruelties which. although being few at the outset, grow with the passing time instead of disappearing. Those who follow the first method can remedy their condition with God and with men; the others cannot possibly survive. – Niccolo Machiavelli • Well, now there’s a remedy for everything except death. – Miguel de Cervantes • Well, there’s a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other. – Miguel de Cervantes • Were I disposed to consider the comparative merit of each of them [facts or theories in medical practice], I should derive most of the evils of medicine from supposed facts, and ascribe all the remedies which have been uniformly and extensively useful, to such theories as are true. Facts are combined and rendered useful only by means of theories, and the more disposed men are to reason, the more minute and extensive they become in their observations – Benjamin Rush • When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it can’t be cured. – Anton Chekhov • When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death. – Thomas Hobbes • When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. I fear the disease is incurable. – John Steinbeck • When remedies are past, the griefs are ended By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended. To mourn a mischief that is past and gone Is the next way to draw new mischief on. What cannot be preserved when fortune takes, Patience her injury a mockery makes. The robb’d that smiles steals something for the thief; He robs himself that spends a bootless grief. – William Shakespeare • When the patient loves his disease, how unwilling he is to allow a remedy to be applied. – Pierre Corneille • When thought becomes excessively painful, action is the finest remedy. – Salman Rushdie • When you live in the present moment, time stands still. Accept your circumstances and live them. If there is an experience ahead of you, have it! But if worries stand in your way, put them off until tomorrow. Give yourself a day off from worry. You deserve it. Some people live with a low-grade anxiety tugging at their spirit all day long. They go to sleep with it, wake up with it, carry it around at home, in town, to church, and with friends. Here’s a remedy: Take the present moment and find something to laugh at. People who laugh, last. – Barbara Johnson • Whiskey is by far the most popular of all remedies that won’t cure a cold. – Jerry Vale • Whoever wishes to make progress in perfection should use particular diligence in not allowing himself to be led away by his passions, which destroy with one hand the spiritual edifice which is rising by the labors of the other. But to succeed well in this, resistance should be begun while the passions are yet weak; for after they are thoroughly rooted and grown up, there is scarcely any remedy. – St. Vincent • Women’s strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman. – William Moulton Marston • Work is a sovereign remedy for all ills, and a man who loves to work will never be unhappy. – Ellen Swallow Richards • You hang around actors, or dancers, the minute you sneeze, everybody has a remedy, and we’re all on a million different kinds of diets, and different kinds of things that we do for exercise. – Anna Deavere Smith • Your Remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. Your Sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it. You Presume you are a small entity, But within you is enfolded the entire universe. You are indeed the evident book, By whose alphabet the hidden becomes the manifest. Therefore, you have no need to look beyond yourself, What you seek is within you, if only you reflect. – Ali ibn Abi Talib • Youth knows no remedy for grief but death. – Winifred Holtby [clickbank-storefront-bestselling]

• As it must be admitted that the remedy under the Constitution lies where it has been marked out by the Constitution; and that no appeal can be consistently made from that remedy by those who were and still profess to be parties to it, but the appeal to the parties themselves having an authority above the Constitution or to the law of nature & of nature’s God. – James Madison • A car can massage organs which no masseur can reach. It is the one remedy for the disorders of the great sympathetic nervous system. – Jean Cocteau • A careful physician . . . before he attempts to administer a remedy to his patient, must investigate not only the malady of the man he wishes to cure, but also his habits when in health, and his physical constitution. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • A correct diagnosis is three-fourths the remedy. – Mahatma Gandhi • A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy. – Guy Fawkes • A doctor’s authority in America often exceeds his or her knowledge. Whole bodies of knowledge in healing are ignored because they are unorthodox and non-medical. A doctor’s education seems exhaustive, yet MDs study so much about drugs and surgery – and so little about nutrition, fasting, herbal remedies, spinal manipulation, massage, vitamin and mineral therapy, homeopathy, and more – that we realize their qualifications are incomplete. – Andrew Saul • A man who knows a thing, recognizes a given danger, and sees with his own eyes the possibility of a remedy, damned well has the duty and the obligation not to work ‘silently’, but to stand up openly against the evil and for its cure. If he does not do so then he is a faithless, miserable weakling who fails either from cowardice or from laziness and incompetence….Every last agitator who possesses the courage to defend his opinions with manly forth-rightness, standing on a tavern table among his adversaries, accomplishes more than a thousand of these lying, treacherous sneaks. – George Lincoln Rockwell • A man’s life may stagnate as literally as water may stagnate, and just as motion and direction are the remedy for one, so purpose and activity are the remedy for the other. – John Burroughs • A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death. • A well-balanced mind is the best remedy against affliction. – Plautus • Activity is a sovereign remedy for the blues. – Myrtle Reed • Addiction is not something we can simply take care of by applying the proper remedy. For it is in the very nature of addiction to feed on our attempts to master it. – Gerald May • After moral poisoning, one requires physical remedies and a bottle of champagne. – Stendhal • Again I ask whence it happened that the fall of Adam involved, without remedy, in eternal death so many nations, together with their infant children, except because it so seemed good to God? A decree horrible, I confess, and yet true. – John Calvin • Against the persecution of a tyrant the godly have no remedy but prayer. – John Calvin • All the glory of the world would be buried in oblivion, unless God had provided mortals with the remedy of books. – Richard de Bury • All the remedies for all the types of conflicts are alike in that they begin by finding the facts rather than by starting a fight. – Glenn Frank • Among the remedies which it has pleased Almighty God to give to man to relieve his sufferings, none is so universal and so efficacious as opium. – Thomas Sydenham • An essential part of any successful action on the part of the United States is an understanding on the part of the people of America of the character of the problem and the remedies to be applied. … It is virtually impossible at this distance merely by reading, or listening, or even seeing photographs or motion pictures, to grasp at all the real significance of the situation. And yet the whole world of the future hangs on a proper judgment. – George C. Marshall • And action is the only remedy to indifference, the most insidious danger of all. – Elie Wiesel • And it will fall out as in a complication of diseases, that by applying a remedy to one sore, you will provoke another; and that which removes the one ill symptom produces others. – Thomas More • Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power. A childlike and abiding trust in Providence is its best preventive and remedy. – Tryon Edwards • Art — the fresh feeling, new harmony, the transforming magic which by means of myth brings back the scattered distracted soul from its modern chaos — art, not politics, is the remedy. – Saul Bellow • As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means. – Albert Camus • As modern physics started with the Newtonian revolution, so modern philosophy starts with what one might call the Cartesian Catastrophe. The catastrophe consisted in the splitting up of the world into the realms of matter and mind, and the identification of ‘mind’ with conscious thinking. The result of this identification was the shallow rationalism of l’ esprit Cartesien, and an impoverishment of psychology which it took three centuries to remedy even in part. – Arthur Koestler • At communion we ought to ask for the remedy of the vice to which we feel ourselves most inclined. – Philip Neri • Avarice seems to have so pervaded our vital principles as to battle all hopes of a remedy but for peace and plenty. – Edmund Pendleton • Avoid a remedy that is worse than the disease. – Aesop

• Basil..discovered a guild of abortionists, or sagae, that were doing a booming trade in Caesarea, and the surrounding environs. They provided herbal potions, pessaries, and even surgical remedies for women who wished to avoid child-bearing. The bodies of the children were then harvested and sold to cosmetologists in Egypt, who used the collagen for the manufacture of various beauty creams. – Grant George • Between two groups of people who want to make inconsistent kinds of worlds, I see no remedy but force. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. • But nothing is more estimable than a physician who, having studied nature from his youth, knows the properties of the human body, the diseases which assail it, the remedies which will benefit it, exercises his art with caution, and pays equal attention to the rich and the poor. – Voltaire • Charity is … a universal remedy against discord, and an holy cement for mankind. – William Penn • Child murderers practice their profession without let or hindrance, and open infant butcheries unquestioned…Is there no remedy for all this ante-natal child murder? – Caroline Norton • Civilization is a hopeless race to discover remedies for the evils it produces. – Jean-Jacques Rousseau • Concern for someone else was a good remedy for taking the mind off one’s own troubles. – Elizabeth Aston • Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff – it is a palliative rather than a remedy. – Peter De Vries • Counsel in trouble gives small comfort when help is past remedy. – Xenocrates • Desperate affairs require desperate remedies. – Carl von Clausewitz • Discord is the great ill of mankind; and tolerance is the only remedy for it. – Voltaire • Don’t find fault, find a remedy. – Henry Ford • Doubting things go ill often hurts more Than to be sure they do; for certainties Either are past remedies, or, timely knowing, The remedy then born. – William Shakespeare • Dr. Oaks made the remark that, according to the best estimate he could make, there were four hundred murders annually produced by abortion in that county alone….There must be a remedy for such a crying evil as this. – Elizabeth Cady Stanton • Education, the great mumbo jumbo and fraud of the age purports to equip us to live and is prescribed as a universal remedy for everything from juvenile delinquency to premature senility. – Malcolm Muggeridge • Every fresh acquirement is another remedy against affliction and time. – Robert Aris Willmott • Everyone suffers wrongs for which there is no remedy – E. W. Howe • Evils, like poisons, have their uses, and there are diseases which no other remedy can reach. – Thomas Paine • Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases. – Hippocrates • False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. – Cesare Beccaria • Fasting is the greatest remedy– the physician within. – Paracelsus • For all evils there are two remedies – time and silence. – Alexandre Dumas • For every worry under the sun, there is a remedy or there is none. If there be one, hurry and find it. If there be none, then never mind it. – LeGrand Richards • For suffering and enduring there is no remedy, but striving and doing. – Thomas Carlyle • For when they see the people swarm into the streets, and daily wet to the skin with rain, and yet cannot persuade them to go out of the rain, they do keep themselves within their houses, seeing they cannot remedy the folly of the people. – Thomas More • Freedom and not servitude is the cure of anarchy; as religion, and not atheism, is the true remedy of superstition. – Edmund Burke • God forbid that all children, of whom daily so great a multitude die, would perish, but that also for these, the merciful God, who wishes no one to perish, has procured some remedy unto salvation. – Pope Innocent III • God invented forgiving as a remedy for a past that not even he could change and not even he could forget. His way of forgiving is the model for our forgiving. – Lewis B. Smedes • Gratitude is not a spiritual or moral dessert which we may take or push away according to the whims of the moment, and in either case without material consequences. Gratitude is the very bread and meat of spiritual and moral health, individually and collectively. What was the seed of disintegration that corrupted the heart of the ancient world beyond the point of divine remedy…? What was it but ingratitude? – Noel ‘Razor’ Smith • Happiness is normally the prime search of every rational human being. One way to derive increasing happiness during the year we have just entered is to strive diligently to promote the happiness of others, to think of them first, yourself second. Happiness is the greatest tonic, the greatest elixir, of all. Worry is among the worst poisons. One sensible New Year resolution: I will do my utmost to have consideration for others, to exercise usefulness, to radiate happiness, to conquer worrying over things I cannot possibly remedy. – B. C. Forbes • has done a great job walking a thin line between revenge and remedy. – Jesse Jackson • He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator. – Francis Bacon • He was better than any drug, any remedy for her illness. – Maya Banks • Heretics are the only bitter remedy against the entropy of human thought. – Yevgeny Zamyatin • How friendly all men would be one with another, if no regard were paid to honour and money! I believe it would be a remedy for everything. – Teresa of Avila • I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy. – Albert Camus • I am under obligations to most of those advisers for the pains and interest they took in my case; but only to one for an effectual remedy. – William Banting • I believed in belief, for its own shining sake. To believe in the face of utter hopelessness, every article of evidence to the contrary, to ignore apparent catastrophe – what other choice was there? We do it every day, I realized. We are so much stronger than we imagine, and belief is one of the most valiant and long-lived human characteristics. To believe, when all along we humans know that nothing can cure the briefness of this life, that there is no remedy for our basic mortality, that is a form of bravery. To continue believing in yourself, believing in the doctors, believing in thetreatent, believing in whatever I chose to believe in, that was the most important thing. – Lance Armstrong • I came in contact with every known Indian anarchist in London. Their bravery impressed me, but I felt that their zeal was misguided. I felt that violence was no remedy for India’s ills, and that her civilisation required the use of a different and higher weapon for self-protection. – Hind Swaraj – Mahatma Gandhi • I can get no remedy against this consumption of the purse: borrowing only lingers and lingers it out, but the disease is incurable. – William Shakespeare • I did not go to the Supreme Court on behalf of a class of women. I wasn’t pursuing any legal remedy to my unwanted pregnancy. I did not go to the federal courts for relief. I went to Sarah Weddington asking her if she knew how I could obtain an abortion. She and Linda Coffey said they didn’t know where to get one. They lied to me just like I lied to them. Sarah already had an abortion. She knew where to get one. Sarah and Linda were just looking for somebody, anybody, to further their own agenda. I was their willing dupe. For this, I will forever be ashamed. – Norma McCorvey • I don’t know anyone who enjoys going to the hospital. To help remedy this, I got an idea to create what a Laugh Room in the pediatric ward of hospitals. – Joseph Barbera • I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion. – Thomas Jefferson • I like a good beer. Of course, I’ll drink a bad one too. Let no person thirst for lack of real ale! Thank god for long-necked bottles, the angel’s remedy. – Tom Petty • I mostly want to remind her of the recipes of healing, and give her my own made-on-the spot remedy for the easing of her pain. I tell her, “Get a pen. Stop crying so you can write this down and start working on it tonight.” My remedy is long. But the last item on the list says: “When you wake up and find yourself living someplace where there is nobody you love and trust, no community, it is time to leave town – to pack up and go (you can even go tonight). And where you need to go is any place where there are arms that can hold you, that will not let you go. – Bell Hooks • I object. I object to any killing at all. You know, it’s terrible what happened and I think retaliation definitely makes sense and it’s definitely one option. But, personally, I prefer peace. You know, maybe I’m just being ignorant and shortsighted, you know, it’s true I’m not running the government, I’m not running the United States. I just don’t think that killing people is a good way to remedy people dying. Martin Luther King Jr. said that you can murder a murderer but you can never murder murder itself. – Tre Cool • I speak to people in the languagethey understand. First I have a dialogue, if that is not understood I speak inanother language. There is no remedy for this. – Raj Thackeray • I tell them that if they will occupy themselves with the study of mathematics they will find in it the best remedy against the lusts of the flesh. – Thomas Mann • If feeling anxious about anything Dr Bachs night time rescue remedy is great. Sometimes a bath before bed helps. Burning Lavender or Clary Sage in the room before retiring. Try not to work on my computer very late and then bed straight after. Getting enough exercise definitely helps sleep. – Rachel Ryan • If God causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that He makes is good and will stand forever. If the transgression of God’s law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. It is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine Mind, which causes the belief of sickness. The remedy is Truth, not matter,–the truth that disease is unreal. – Mary Baker Eddy • If I were a physician, and if I were allowed to prescribe just one remedy for all the ills of the modern world, I would prescribe silence. For even if the Word of God were proclaimed in the modern world, how could one hear it with so much noise? Therefore, create silence. – Soren Kierkegaard • If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence. – Louis D. Brandeis • If you are too fond of new remedies, first you will not cure your patients; secondly, you will have no patients to cure. – Astley Cooper • If you have a wounded heart, touch it as little as you would an injured eye. There are only two remedies for the suffering of the soul: hope and patience. – Pythagoras • Ignorance is the evil – knowledge will be the remedy. Knowledge not of what sort of beings we shall be hereafter, or what is beyond the skies, but a knowledge pertaining to terra firma, and we may have all the power, goodness and love that we have been taught belongs to God himself. – Ernestine Rose • I’m hoping that we’re not getting to Second Amendment remedies. I hope the vote will be the cure for the Harry Reid problems. – Sharron Angle • I’m in love! Your advice, what are they? Love has poisoned me! Your remedies, what are they? I hear them shout: “fast, Bind him feet!” But if my heart that has gone mad! Those strings on my feet What is the point? – Rumi • Impeachment is not a remedy for private wrongs; its a method of removing someone whose continued presence in office would cause grave danger to the nation. – Charles Ruff • In a few more days I’d anticipated telling Veronika that our injections had cured her heart condition. But in light of her unscheduled departure form Villette my telling that particular lie will not be required. The majority of people who attempt suicide repeat that attempt until they succeed. I took a risk in lying to her about her condition, i decided to test the only remedy i have come to have any faith in: awareness of life. Until she finds out from some other doctor that she is perfectly healthy. She’ll consider each day a miracle. Which in my view it is. – Paulo Coelho • In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land. – Albert Camus • In all of history, we have found just one cure for error—a partial antidote against making and repeating grand, foolish mistakes, a remedy against self-deception. That antidote is criticism. – David Brin • In ART as in Life the Best Way to REMEDY mistakes is to take advantage of them. – Walter Darby Bannard • In every case, the remedy is to take action. Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn and exactly what you need to do to learn it. BEING CLEAR KILLS FEAR. Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world. – Miguel de Cervantes • In existing States a fresh law is looked upon as a remedy for evil. Instead of themselves altering what is bad, people begin by demanding a law to alter it. – Peter Kropotkin • In republican government the legislative authority necessarily predominates. The remedy for this . . . is to divide the legislature into different branches; and to render them by different modes of election, and different principles of action, as little connected with each other as the nature of their common functions, and their common dependence on the society, will admit. – James Madison • In such misfortunes my Mother was of an heroic spirit, in suffering patiently when there was no remedy, and being industrious where she thought she could help. – Margaret Cavendish • Interestingly, God’s remedy for Elijah’s depression was not a refresher course in theology but food and sleep… Before God spoke to him at all, Elijah was fed twice and given a good chance to sleep. Only then, and very gently, did God confront him with his error. This is always God’s way. Having made us as human beings, He respects our humanness and treats us with integrity. That is, He treats us true to the truth of who we are. It is human beings and not God who have made spirituality impractical. – Os Guinness • It is a persistent evil to persecute a man who belongs to the grace of God. It is a calamity without remedy to hate the happy. – Cyprian • It is frightening that in recent years such an increase has occurred in acts of terrorism, which have even reached peaceful countries such as ours. And as a “remedy”, more and more security forces are established to protect the lives of individual men and women. – Alva Myrdal • It seems to me that the least deserving recipients of wealth are inheritors. Further, there are many indications that inheritors often have trouble adjusting to their unearned inheritance. An inheritance tax would de facto help remedy this. – Julian Robertson • It shall be my pleasure to remedy it. First, it is not your strength or your speed that draws me. It’s your…everything. Your laugh, your wit, your emotions and the way they change. Your courage, your sweetness, your near obsessive delight in cookies. Second, you are indeed a prize. You’ve made me want what no one else ever had. A communion of bodies.” -Zacharel to Annabelle – Gena Showalter • It’s good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years. I hope that’s not where we’re going. But, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies. – Sharron Angle • It’s not my business to remedy deaths! It’s my business to tell stories. Lyra and the other heroines didn’t come with placards saying, “Make this a feminist story!” I’m glad people enjoy seeing a female protagonist in a big adventure story, but I didn’t do it for political reasons. – Philip Pullman • Keeing busy” is the remedy for all the ills in America. It’s also the means by which the creative impulse is destroyed. – Joyce Carol Oates • Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat… Never take yourself too seriously. – Og Mandino • Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last. – Jack Nicklaus • Let us face a pluralistic world in which there are no universal churches, no single remedy for all diseases, no one way to teach or write or sing, no magic diet, no world poets, and no chosen races, but only the wretched and wonderfully diversified human race. – Jacques Barzun • Let’s find and remedy all our weaknesses before our enemies get a chance to say a word. That is what Charles Darwin did. …When Darwin completed the manuscript of his immortal book “The Origin Of Species” he realized that the publication of his revolutionary concept of creation would rock the intellectual and religious worlds. So he became his own critic and spent another 15 years checking his data, challenging his reasoning, and criticizing his conclusions. – Dale Carnegie • Life is thickly sown with thorns. I know no other remedy than to pass rapidly over them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes the greater is their power to harm us. – Voltaire • Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It’s a palliative. The remedy is death. – Nicolas Chamfort • Many doctors are drawn to this profession (psychology) because they have an innate deficiency of insight into the motives, feelings and thoughts of others, a deficiency they hope to remedy by ingesting masses of data. – William S. Burroughs • Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter could be said to remedy anything. – Kurt Vonnegut • Medicine is an incoherent assemblage of incoherent ideas, and is, perhaps, of all the physiological Sciences, that which best shows the caprice of the human mind. What did I say! It is not a Science for a methodical mind. It is a shapeless assemblage of inaccurate ideas, of observations often puerile, of deceptive remedies, and of formulae as fantastically conceived as they are tediously arranged. – Marie Francois Xavier Bichat • Men who have flattered themselves into this opinion of their own abilities, look down on all who waste their lives over books, as a race of inferior beings condemned by nature to perpetual pupilage, and fruitlessly endeavouring to remedy their barrenness by incessant cultivation, or succour their feebleness by subsidiary strength. They presume that none would be more industrious than they, if they were not more sensible of deficiences; and readily conclude, that he who places no confidence in his own powers owes his modesty only to his weakness. – Samuel Johnson • Mirth, and even cheerfulness, when employed as remedies in low spirits, are like hot water to a frozen limb. – Benjamin Rush • Moral improvement (or perfecting) require an evolution leading to a higher consciousness, which is the true torch of life; it is what we have failed too much to appreciate, and that which would be fatal to fail to appreciate any longer (“pluslongtemps”, Fr.); For if we do not take it upon ourselves to remedy in time to the moral colapse (or bankruptcy) that already threaten, the whole civilisation will risks to disappear. – African Spir • More than half of all great remedies known to medical history have come from empiricists…’irregulars’…of no or little scientific training. There is no reason to believe that conditions have essentially changed. – Alexis Carrel • Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen, And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears. – Khalil Gibran • Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. – Oliver Sacks • Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity. – Oliver Sacks • My garden does not whet the appetite; it satisfies it. It does not provoke thirst through heedless indulgence, but slakes it by proffering its natural remedy. Amid such pleasures as these have I grown old. – Epicurus • Neglect of mathematics work injury to all knowledge, since he who is ignorant of it cannot know the other sciences or things of this world. And what is worst, those who are thus ignorant are unable to perceive their own ignorance, and so do not seek a remedy. – Roger Bacon • No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage. – William Shakespeare • Nobody has any right to find life uninteresting or unrewarding who sees within the sphere of his own activity a wrong he can help to remedy, or within himself an evil he can hope to overcome. – Charles William Eliot • Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies – Francois Fenelon • Nutrition is the only remedy that can bring full recovery and can be used with any treatment. Remember, food is our best medicine! – Bernard Jensen
• Odors have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions, or will. The persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off, it enters into us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, imbues us totally. There is no remedy for it. – Patrick Süskind • Of all the home remedies, a good wife is best. – Kin Hubbard • Of several remedies, the physician should choose the least sensational. – Hippocrates • On any other hypothesis, the delegation of judicial power would annul the authority delegating it; and the concurrence of this department with the others in usurped powers, might subvert forever, and beyond the possible reach of any rightful remedy, the very Constitution which all were instituted to preserve. – James Madison • Once one has seen God, what is the remedy? – Sylvia Plath • One great flaw in the reforming passion is that in its eagerness to remedy social wrongs it tends to neglect, certainly to undervalue, the experience of those whose lives it wishes to improve. – Irving Howe • One of the most beneficial of remedies is persisting in du’a. – Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya • Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven. – William Shakespeare • Patience is the best remedy for every trouble. – Plautus • Petruchio: Come, come, you wasp; i’ faith, you are too angry. Katherine: If I be waspish, best beware my sting. Petruchio: My remedy is then, to pluck it out. Katherine: Ay, if the fool could find where it lies. Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail. Katherine: In his tongue. Petruchio: Whose tongue? Katherine: Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell. Petruchio: What, with my tongue in your tail? Nay, come again, Good Kate; I am a gentleman. – William Shakespeare • Philosophy finds talkativeness a disease very difficult and hard to cure. For its remedy, conversation, requires hearers: but talkative people hear nobody, for they are ever prating. And the first evil this inability to keep silence produces is an inability to listen. – Plutarch • Philosophy, like medicine, has plenty of drugs, few good remedies, and hardly any specific cures. – Nicolas Chamfort • Plant diseases, drought, desolation, despair were recurrent catastrophes during the ages – and the ancient remedies: supplications to supernatural spirits or gods. – Norman Borlaug • Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy. – Paracelsus • Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. – Groucho Marx • Preventives of evil are far better than remedies; cheaper and easier of application, and surer in result. – Tryon Edwards • Pride is a deeply rooted ailment of the soul. The penalty is misery; the remedy lies in the sincere, life-long cultivation of humility, which means true self-evaluation and a proper perspective toward past, present and future. – Robert Gordis • Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. – Louis D. Brandeis • Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman. – Louis D. Brandeis • Receive Communion often, very often…there you have the sole remedy, if you want to be cured. Jesus has not put this attraction in your heart for nothing. – Therese of Lisieux • Religion has ever filled the mind of man with darkness, and kept him in ignorance of his real duties and true interests. It is by dispelling the clouds and phantoms of religion, that we shall discover truth, morality and reason. Religion diverts us from the causes of evils, and from these remedies which nature advocates, far from curing; it only aggravates, perpetuates and multiplies them. – Baron d’Holbach • Remedy your deficiencies,and your merits will take care of themselves. – Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton • Revenge is fever in our own blood, to be cured only by letting the blood of another; but the remedy too often produces a relapse, which is remorse–a malady far more dreadful than the first disease, because it is incurable. – Charles Caleb Colton • Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all – the apathy of human beings. – Helen Keller • Science stands, a too competant servant, behind her wrangling underbred masters, holding out resources, devices, and remedies they are too stupid to use. … And on its material side, a modern Utopia must needs present these gifts as taken. – George Herbert • Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever. – Jefferson Davis • Seek the outstanding mental conflict in the person, give him the remedy that will overcome that conflict and all the hope and encouragement you can, then the virtue within him will, itself do all the rest. – Edward Bach • She had discovered that the best remedy for heartache was trying to make herself useful to others. – Lisa Kleypas • Since long I’ve held silence a remedy for harm. – Aeschylus • Sitting back in the evening, stargazing and stroking your dog, is an infallible remedy. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that’s beautiful. – Rashida Jones • Socialism has never and nowhere been at first a working-class movement. It is by no means an obvious remedy for the obvious evil which the interests of that class will necessarily demand. It is a construction of theorists. – Friedrich August von Hayek • Spending some time getting quiet can really be the best remedy for tangled situations. Taking a step back from all the emotion, frustration, and exhaustion to sit quietly with Jesus will do more to untangle a mess than anything else I’ve ever found. – Lysa TerKeurst • Substantial progress toward better things can rarely be taken without developing new evils requiring new remedies. – William Howard Taft • Suicide is not a remedy – James A. Garfield • The atonement of Jesus Christ is the only remedy and rest for my soul. – Martin Van Buren • The best remedy for a bruised heart is not, as so many people think, repose upon a manly bosom. Much more efficacious are honest work, physical activity, and the sudden acquisition of wealth. – Dorothy L. Sayers • The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk. – Joseph Joubert • The best remedy for anger is delay. – Brigham Young • The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. – Anne Frank • The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be. – Anne Frank • The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside – Anne Frank • The best remedy for what ails me is being with you here under the sun. – Christopher Paolini • The blindness of men is the most dangerous effect of their pride; it seems to nourish and augment it; it deprives them of knowledge of remedies which can solace their miseries and can cure their faults. – Francois de La Rochefoucauld • The fact that I have no remedy for all the sorrows of the world is no reason for my accepting yours. It simply supports the strong probability that yours is a fake. – H. L. Mencken • The flame will cool tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow…. But someone must see this already today, and speak heretically today about tomorrow. Heretics are the only (bitter) remedy against the entropy of human thought. – Yevgeny Zamyatin • The greatest remedy for anger is delay. – Thomas Paine • The heart which grief hath cankered, Hath one unfailing remedy – the Tankard. – Charles Stuart Calverley • The liberal party is a party which believes that, as new conditions an problems arise beyond the power of men and women to meet as individuals, it becomes the duty of the government itself to find new remedies with which to meet them. – Franklin D. Roosevelt • The magnitude of this evil among us is so deeply felt, and so universally acknowledged, that no merit could be greater than that of devising a satisfactory remedy for it. – James Madison • The moment when a man’s head drops off is seldom or never, I am inclined to think, precisely the most agreeable of his life. Nevertheless, like the greater part of our misfortunes, even so serious a contingency brings its remedy and consolation with it, if the sufferer will but make the best, rather than the worst, of the accident which has befallen him. – Nathaniel Hawthorne • The only remedy against hunger is reasonable birth control. – Friedrich Durrenmatt • The possible redemption from the predicament of irreversibility──of being unable to undo what one has done──is the faculty of forgiving. The remedy for unpredictability, for the chaotic uncertainty of the future, is contained in the faculty to make and keep promises. Both faculties depend upon plurality, on the presence and acting of others, for no man can forgive himself and no one can be bound by a promise made only to himself. – Hannah Arendt • The problem with deterrence – apparently sometimes forgotten by our former presidents – is that it is not static, but a creature of the moment, captive to impression, and nursed on action, not talk. It must be maintained hourly and can erode or be lost with a single act of failed nerve, despite all the braggadocio of threatened measures. And, once gone, the remedies needed for its restoration are always more expensive, deadly – and controversial – than would have been its simple maintenance. – Victor Davis Hanson • The real truth is, the number of convicts is too overwhelming for the means of proper and effectual punishment. I despair of any remedy but that which I wish I could hope for – a great reduction in the amount of crime. – Robert Peel • The remedy against want is to moderate your desires. – Saadi • The remedy for life’s broken pieces is not classes, workshops or books. Don’t try to heal the broken pieces. Just forgive. – Iyanla Vanzant • The remedy for most marital stress is not in divorce. It is in repentance and forgiveness, in sincere expressions of charity and service. It is not in separation. It is in simple integrity that leads a man and a woman to square up their shoulders and meet their obligations. It is found in the Golden Rule, a time-honored principle that should first and foremost find expression in marriage. – Gordon B. Hinckley • The remedy for thirst? It is the opposite of the one for a dog bite: run always after a dog, he’ll never bite you; drink always before thirst, and it will never overtake you. – Francois Rabelais • The remedy for wrongs is to forget them. – Publilius Syrus • The remedy is worse than the disease. – Francis Bacon • The remedy now is two scotches and an aspirin, I think. – Harry Sinden • The right remedy for the trade cycle is not to be found in abolishing booms and thus keeping us permanently in a semi-slump; but in abolishing slumps and thus keeping us permanently in a quasi-boom. – John Maynard Keynes • The rights of copyright holders need to be protected, but some draconian remedies that have been suggested would create more problems than they would solve. – Patrick Leahy • The spectacle of modern investment markets has sometimes moved me towards the conclusion that to make the purchase of an investment permanent and indissoluble, like marriage, except by reason of death or other grave cause, might be a useful remedy for our contemporary evils. For this would force the investor to direct his mind to the long-term prospects and to those only. – John Maynard Keynes • The standard formulation on remedy is that it ought to cure past violations and prevent their recurrence. That’s what antitrust is all about. – Charles James • The thought that all experience will be lost at the moment of my death makes me feel pain and fear… What a waste, decades spent building up experience, only to throw it all away… We remedy this sadness by working. For example, by writing, painting, or building cities. – Umberto Eco • The true remedy for most evils is none other than liberty, unlimited and complete liberty, liberty in every field of human endeavor. – Gustave de Molinari • The world’s one and only remedy is the cross. – Charles Spurgeon • There are many evils in this country. The only remedy for every one of them is freedom for the nation. – Kalki Krishnamurthy • There are several remedies which will cure love, but there are no infallible ones. – Francois de La Rochefoucauld • There are some remedies worse than disease. – Sara Shepard • There are very few errors and false doctrines of which the beginning may not be traced up to unsound views about the corruption of human nature. Wrong views of the disease will always bring with them wrong views of the remedy. Wrong views of the corruption of human nature will always carry with them wrong views of the grand antidote and cure of that corruption. – J. C. Ryle • There is no evil in the world without a remedy. – Jacopo Sannazaro • There is no remedy for death–or birth–except to hug the spaces in between. Live loud. Live wide. Live tall. – Jim Crace • There is no remedy for love but to love more. – Henry David Thoreau • There is no remedy so easy as books, which if they do not give cheerfulness, at least restore quiet to the most troubled mind. – Mary Wortley Montagu • There is no remedy, but you must either turn or burn. – Joseph Alleine • There is one weakness in people for which there is no remedy. It is the universal weakness of LACK OF AMBITION! – Napoleon Hill • There is remedy for all things except death – Don Quixote De La Mancha – Miguel de Cervantes • Things without all remedy should be without regard: what’s done is done. – William Shakespeare • This paranoid Islam, which blames outsider, ‘infidels’, for all the ills of Muslim societies, and whose proposed remedy is the closing of those societies to the rival project of modernity, is presently the fastest growing version of Islam in the world. – Salman Rushdie • This truth is a remedy against spiritual pride, namely, that none should account himself better before God than others, though perhaps adorned with greater gifts, and endowments. – Johann Arndt • This world is full of remedies. But you have no remedy until God opens a window for you. You may not be aware of that remedy just now. In the hour of need it will be made clear to you. The Prophet said God made a remedy for every pain. – Rumi • Thus the right of nullification meant by Mr. Jefferson is the natural right, which all admit to be a remedy against insupportable oppression. – James Madison • Tidy fees are the most effective remedy, both for the doctor and the patient. – Dario Fo • Time is the greatest remedy for anger. – Seneca the Younger • To be truthful, some writers stop you dead in your tracks by making you see your own work in the most unflattering light. Each of us will meet a different harbinger of personal failure, some innocent genius chosen by us for reasons having to do with what we see as our own inadequacies. The only remedy to this I have found is to read a writer whose work is entirely different from another, though not necessarily more like your own—a difference that will remind you of how many rooms there are in the house of art. – Francine Prose • To cure us of our immoderate love of gain, we should seriously consider how many goods there are that money will not purchase, and these the best; and how many evils there are that money will not remedy, and these the worst. – Charles Caleb Colton • To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy. – Hippocrates • turn and turn and turn again you see the what, but not the when remedy and wrong entwine and so they form a single vine – Suzanne Collins • Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favor compared with the products of nature, the living cell of the plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life. – Thomas A. Edison • Upon this subject, the habits of our whole species fall into three great classes–useful labour, useless labour and idleness. Of these the first only is meritorious; and to it all the products of labour rightfully belong; but the two latter, while they exist, are heavy pensioners upon the first, robbing it of a large portion of it’s just rights. The only remedy for this is to, as far as possible, drive useless labour and idleness out of existence. – Abraham Lincoln • Vegetarianism is not implicitly important for the mental progress or the intellectual development, unless it is supposed to be a remedy to clean the body from slag. A temporary abstinence from meat or animal food is indicated only for very specific magic operations as a sort of preparation, and even then only for a certain period. All this is to be considered with respect to sexual life. – Franz Bardon • War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want. – William Tecumseh Sherman • We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks if it were not for the divine storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience. – Charles Spurgeon • We attach our feelings to the moment when we were hurt, endowing it with immortality. And we let it assault us every time it comes to mind. It travels with us, sleeps with us, hovers over us while we make love, and broods over us while we die. Our hate does not even have the decency to die when those we hate die-for it is a parasite sucking OUR blood, not theirs. There is only one remedy for it. [forgiveness] – Lewis B. Smedes • We grow through investigation, and to investigate we need experience. We tend to repeat what we have not understood. If we are sensitive and intelligent, we need not suffer. Pain is a call for attention and the penalty of carelessness. Intelligent and compassionate action is the only remedy. – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj • We must often draw the comparison between time and eternity. This is the remedy of all our troubles. How small will the present moment appear when we enter that great ocean. – Elizabeth Ann Seton • We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. – Mother Teresa • We waste the power in impatience which, if, otherwise employed, might remedy the evil. – Robert Aris Willmott • Well used are those cruelties (if it is permitted to speak well of evil) that are carried out in a single stroke, done out of necessity to protect oneself, and are not continued but are instead converted into the greatest possible benefits for the subjects. Badly used are those cruelties which. although being few at the outset, grow with the passing time instead of disappearing. Those who follow the first method can remedy their condition with God and with men; the others cannot possibly survive. – Niccolo Machiavelli • Well, now there’s a remedy for everything except death. – Miguel de Cervantes • Well, there’s a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other. – Miguel de Cervantes • Were I disposed to consider the comparative merit of each of them [facts or theories in medical practice], I should derive most of the evils of medicine from supposed facts, and ascribe all the remedies which have been uniformly and extensively useful, to such theories as are true. Facts are combined and rendered useful only by means of theories, and the more disposed men are to reason, the more minute and extensive they become in their observations – Benjamin Rush • When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it can’t be cured. – Anton Chekhov • When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death. – Thomas Hobbes • When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. I fear the disease is incurable. – John Steinbeck • When remedies are past, the griefs are ended By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended. To mourn a mischief that is past and gone Is the next way to draw new mischief on. What cannot be preserved when fortune takes, Patience her injury a mockery makes. The robb’d that smiles steals something for the thief; He robs himself that spends a bootless grief. – William Shakespeare • When the patient loves his disease, how unwilling he is to allow a remedy to be applied. – Pierre Corneille • When thought becomes excessively painful, action is the finest remedy. – Salman Rushdie • When you live in the present moment, time stands still. Accept your circumstances and live them. If there is an experience ahead of you, have it! But if worries stand in your way, put them off until tomorrow. Give yourself a day off from worry. You deserve it. Some people live with a low-grade anxiety tugging at their spirit all day long. They go to sleep with it, wake up with it, carry it around at home, in town, to church, and with friends. Here’s a remedy: Take the present moment and find something to laugh at. People who laugh, last. – Barbara Johnson • Whiskey is by far the most popular of all remedies that won’t cure a cold. – Jerry Vale • Whoever wishes to make progress in perfection should use particular diligence in not allowing himself to be led away by his passions, which destroy with one hand the spiritual edifice which is rising by the labors of the other. But to succeed well in this, resistance should be begun while the passions are yet weak; for after they are thoroughly rooted and grown up, there is scarcely any remedy. – St. Vincent • Women’s strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman. – William Moulton Marston • Work is a sovereign remedy for all ills, and a man who loves to work will never be unhappy. – Ellen Swallow Richards • You hang around actors, or dancers, the minute you sneeze, everybody has a remedy, and we’re all on a million different kinds of diets, and different kinds of things that we do for exercise. – Anna Deavere Smith • Your Remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. Your Sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it. You Presume you are a small entity, But within you is enfolded the entire universe. You are indeed the evident book, By whose alphabet the hidden becomes the manifest. Therefore, you have no need to look beyond yourself, What you seek is within you, if only you reflect. – Ali ibn Abi Talib • Youth knows no remedy for grief but death. – Winifred Holtby [clickbank-storefront-bestselling]
