Quotations for pine

We pine for kindred natures
To mingle with our own. [ Mrs. Hemans ]

Love and envy make a man pine. [ Proverb ]

The pine wishes herself a shrub, when the axe is at her root. [ Proverb ]

Gaming, women, and wine, while they laugh, they make men pine. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Foul jealousy! that turnest love divine to joyless dread, and makest the loving heart with hateful thoughts to languish and to pine. [ Spenser ]

We know there oft is found an avarice in grief; and the war eye of sorrow loves to gaze upon its secret hoard of treasured woes, and pine in solitude. [ William Mason ]

The lofty pine is oftenest agitated by the winds - high towers rush to the earth with a heavier fall - and the lightning most frequently strikes the highest mountains. [ Horace ]

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their soul into ours. God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages. Books are the true levellers; they give to all, who will faithfully use them, the society, the spiritual presence, of the best and greatest of our race. No matter how poor I am, I shall not pine for want of intellectual companionship, and I may become a cultivated man, though excluded from what is called the best society in the place where I live. [ W. E. Channing ]
