Chinese Curse

A man's moral conscience is the curse he had to accept from the gods in order to gain from them the right to dream. – William FaulknerRate it:
Curse you Sonic! Not only do you foil my plans but you foil my speeches too. I work hard on them! – Ivo Robotnik (Eggman)Rate it:
Fear keeps pace with hope. Nor does their so moving together surprise me; both belong to a mind in suspense, to a mind in a state of anxiety through looking into the future. Both are mainly due to projecting our thoughts far ahead of us instead of adapting ourselves to the present. Thus it is that foresight, the greatest blessing humanity has been given, is transformed into a curse. – Seneca, Letters to Lucilius VRate it:
Is yours an honest lament?...Most are not, you know. Most self-imposed burdens are founded on misperceptions. We - at least we of sincere character - always judge ourselves by stricter standards than we expect others to abide by. It is a curse, I suppose, or a blessing, depending on how one views it... Take it as a blessing, my friend, an inner calling that forces you to strive to unattainable heights. – R. A. Salvatore, SojournRate it:
ON ANGER: "It is the base and vile bramble, the fruit of the earth's curse, that tears and rends what is next to it." Thomas Adams – Thomas AdamsRate it:

Then there are the ones that do and look for glory because of what they did. Then there are the true good hearts in the world and Tina is one them! I curse and spit on anyone that ever doubts Tina's words, generosity or intentions! If they do, clearly they do not know her and they do not deserve to know her! – Contessa Bianca BertolliRate it:
Sleep is a curse. A curse I must live with. – Steven UniverseRate it:

The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, sometimes one forgets which it is. – James BarrieRate it:
Turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse. – Anthon St MaartenRate it:
O, my offence is rank, it smells to heaven It hath the primal eldest curse upon 't, A brother's murder. – William ShakespeareRate it:
Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors, concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods--in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations. – Albert EinsteinRate it:
I am no cat's friend. I know too much for friendship. Be glad that you will never be burdened with the knowledge that I have. My curse is to live forever, knowing what has been and what has yet to be, powerless to change anything. – Erin HunterRate it:
The basic difference between an ordinary person and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary person takes everything as a blessing or a curse. – Carlos CastanedaRate it:

The curse of the 21st censury is not cars but the deliberate ignorance to human rights. – Abdirisak IshakRate it:
( The 2015 Pan-American Games in) Toronto was perfect with all the athletes in a modern village but now it will be multiplied by five continents and other greats, seeing top basketball players, golfers,( sprinter) Usain Bolt with Gomez Cora little tray next to you in the meal queue, i'd be happy to stay there for two hours, you usually curse when a queue is long but I'd want it to be eternal and it's not a forced situation, it's natural and you're all there as equals. – Gomez CoraRate it:
A lot of people think it was a gift and a curse, i think it gave me a little more shelf life to come back. But it also gave me a little more push to come back and prove I am Justin Gatlin. – Justin GatlinRate it:
Affluence brings a great influence on the person itself as well as on the onlookers. However, when it is in limit, it is boon for you as well as for others. But, when exceeded beyond limits; it becomes curse for both the parties. At the times of prosperity, we often start misusing the things. This gives rise to our inner devil. However, the worst part is that we didn't even realize what suffering we are afflicting on others. Always remember, luxury attained by causing trouble or distress to others, can't be cherished for a longer period of time. – Prashant AgarwalRate it:
An open foe may prove a curse, but a pretended friend is worse. – John GayRate it:
An orphan's curse would drag to HellA spirit from on highBut oh More horrible than thatIs the curse in a dead man's eye. – Samuel Taylor ColeridgeRate it:
And, then, the old man preached about the daily indignities of the old south— insulting stereotypes and caricatures that portrayed us as buffoons, butlers, and beasts; lies about our morality and worth, some told by preachers who said we had no souls, that we wore the Curse of Ham; backbreaking toil, often forced by law, the fruit of our labor on another man’s plate; poverty that warped, crippled, and everywhere premature death; our voices silenced by poll taxes and literacy tests; schooling in raggedy shacks with tattered books because education would spoil us for work in the fields; cuffed, chained, and caged, for crimes both real and imagined; our soldiers killed in their uniforms, their medals stripped; our businesses, churches, schools, and homes burned to the ground when we progressed too much; our women and children raped; everywhere the barbarism of color discrimination followed us, enveloped us, and when all else failed, there were sadistic cowards with ropes and pyres to kill us, kill our bodies, to try and end us. But, we did not end. – David PilgrimRate it:
Anyone whos ever met him is always amazed by what a genuine gentleman he is, hes so positive. Wants the best for me and everyone he knows. Truly wishes people well. Doesnt curse... Never have I heard him gossip or say a negative thing about anyone. – Oprah WinfreyRate it:
