It is better to ordsprog

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness. It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Fusk

People suffer all their life long, under the foolish superstition that they can be cheated. But it is impossible for a person to be cheated by anyone but himself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Men's indignation, it seems, is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior

Thucydides

Fusk

Trust [the student] in a certain degree with himself. Suffer him in some instances to select his own course of reading. There is danger that there should be something to studied and monotonous in the selection we should make for him. Suffer him to wander through the wilds of literature.

William Godwin (1756-)

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? / Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

Bible

The world is an old woman, and mistakes any gilt farthing for a gold coin; whereby being often cheated, she will thenceforth trust nothing but the common copper

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

Verden

But there is a disconnect here. Being wealthier simply does not translate into being happier. Many studies shows the United States to be no happier than it was 50 years ago; we are no happier than when we were poorer.

A.J. Senchack

Grandma cheated whenever she could. She cheated because it was a much more scientific and surer way of winning than trusting to luck.

Allan Sherman (1924-)

Offensively, it wasn't there. We cheated the plays. We cheated our cuts. We weren't aggressive. We were lazy with the ball.

Antawn Jamison

I'm really happy for him. I think it's great, ... I'm even happier for our daughter, because her trust fund is going to really be healthy.

Melanie Griffith (1957-)

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from notloving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.

Woody Allen (1935-)

What's wrong with society? What is wrong is people give up searching for the trust and sit back and blend in with the crowd. But that's not who I want to be. Blending in is not my thing.

Kamanda Ndama

Socitet

And now I depart hence condemned by you to suffer the penalty of death, and they, too, go their ways condemned by the truth to suffer the penalty of villainy and wrong; and I must abide by my award - let them abide by theirs.

Platon (427 f.Kr.-348 f.Kr.)

Sandhed

I cheated and my team cheated. We got caught.
