Funny Crushed Quotes
Funny Quotes about Crushed

Let these funny Crushed Quotes from my large collection of funny quotes about life add a little humor to your day.

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds
on the heel that has crushed it.
- Mark Twain

Adversity can crush our spirit -
or strengthen it - it is our choice.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I hope we shall crush in its birth
the aristocracy of our monied corporations
which dare already to challenge our government
to a trial by strength,
and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
- Thomas Jefferson (from a letter to George Logan, Nov. 12th, 1816)

We fear the unknown,
perhaps more than we fear anything else,
and yet we are, at heart, adventurers.
We seek to expand our realm of knowledge and dominion.
Perhaps we are attempting to overcome and crush the unknown,
but our duel with the unknown is such a one-sided clash
that we must know in our hearts
that our adventure is no more than a child's game.
Perhaps we hope that the unknown
is like the darkness of a cave
and that the brief light of our adventurer's candle
can illuminate the entire cave.
Nonetheless, the path of the adventurer
is a path of joy, while the way of fear is one of suffering.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
