Quotes with Pitiful

It is pitiful to go to bed rich and wake up poor. -O. Henry
Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when that person looks back - and at some point everyone looks back - she will hear her heart saying, 'What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you?' -Paulo Coelho
It is pitiful to be a slave to circumstances and fellow men. -W. Somerset Maugham
