Quote by Catharine Esther Beecher

The delicate and infirm go for sympathy, not to the well and buoyant, but to those who have suffered like themselves.

The delicate and infirm go for sympathy, not to the well and

Summary

This quote suggests that people who are delicate and frail seek sympathy from others who have also experienced suffering, rather than from those who are healthy and optimistic. It implies that individuals find solace in connecting with those who have faced similar challenges and can empathize with their struggles. This may be because those who have endured hardships are better able to offer genuine understanding and support, having experienced similar emotional or physical pain.

How many of us are able to distinguish between the odors of noon and midnight, or of winter and summer, or of a windy spell and a still one?

I learned early that crying out in protest could accomplish things. My older brothers and sister had started to school when, sometimes, they would come in and ask for a buttered biscuit or something and my mother, impatiently, would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a fuss until I got what I wanted. I remember well how my mother asked me why I couldn't be a nice boy like Wilfred; but I would think to myself that Wilfred, for being so nice and quiet, often stayed hungry. So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.
