Quotations for relieves

Death robs the rich and relieves the poor. [ J. L. Basford ]

His folded flock secure, the shepherd home
Hies merry-hearted; and by turns relieves
The ruddy milk-maid of her brimming pail;
The beauty whom perhaps his witless heart.
Unknowing what the joy-mixed anguish means,
Sincerely loves, by that best language shown
Of cordial glances, and obliging deeds. [ Thomson ]

Straining breaks the bow, and relaxation relieves the mind. [ Syrus ]

He pities not the poor, who relieves them not, when he well may. [ Proverb ]

Life is disease of which sleep relieves us; it is but a palliative: death is the remedy. [ Chamfort ]

An inoffensive pleasantness is a good quality to improve friendship. It enlivens conversation, relieves melancholy, and conveys advice with better success than naked reprehension. This gilding the pill reconciles the palate to the prescription, without weakening the force of the ingredients, and he who can cure by recreation, and make pleasure the vehicle of health, is a doctor in good earnest. [ R. Hall ]
