Quote by Josh Billings

Pity cost nothing and ain't worth nothing.

Pity cost nothing and ain't worth nothing.

Summary

This quote implies that feeling pity towards someone or a situation does not hold any value or significance unless it is accompanied by an action. It suggests that pity without any meaningful contribution or assistance is empty and worthless. In other words, merely feeling sorry or expressing empathy without taking any steps to help or alleviate the situation adds no real value to the person or the problem at hand.
