Henry David Thoreau Complaining Quotations

This life is not for complaint, but for satisfaction.

I do not speak to those who are well employed, in whatever circumstances, and they know whether they are well employed or not; but mainly to the mass of men who are discontented, and idly complaining of the hardness of their lot or of the times, when they might improve them.

Sincerity is a great but rare virtue, and we pardon to it much complaining, and the betrayal of many weaknesses.
