A smile is the best way to get away with trouble even if it's a fake one.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention ... arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

I love those who can smile in trouble...

I've never known any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage.

If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.

If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.

It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.

That's the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.

Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.
