  • The clock upbraids me with the waste of time.

    William Shakespeare, Thomas Dolby (1832). “The Shakespearian Dictionary, Forming a General Index to All the Popular Expressions, and Most Striking Passages in the Works of Shakespeare, from a Few Words to Fifty Or More Lines ... By T. Dolby”, p.329
  • Do not be inaccessible. None is so perfect that he does not need at times the advice of others. He is an incorrigible ass who will never listen to any one. Even the most surpassing intellect should find a place for friendly counsel. Sovereignty itself must learn to lean. There are some that are incorrigible simply because they are inaccessible: They fall to ruin because none dares to extricate them. The highest should have the door open for friendship; it may prove the gate of help. A friend must be free to advise, and even to upbraid, without feeling embarrassed.

    Baltasar Gracian (2006). “The Art of Worldly Wisdom”, p.59, Shambhala Publications
  • God is ready to give more quickly, and to give more than you ask; yea, he offers his treasures if we only take them. It is truly a great shame and a severe chastisement for us Christians that God should still upbraid us for our slothfulness in prayer, and that we fail to let such a rich and excellent promise incite us to pray.

    Martin Luther (2007). “Through the Year with Martin Luther: A Selection of Sermons Celebrating the Feasts and Seasons of the Christian Year”, p.412, Hendrickson Publishers

    Winning   Men   Tree  
    'The Garden' (1681) st. 1
  • I have never worked for fame or praise, and shall not feel their loss as I otherwise would. I have never for a moment lost sight of the humble life I was born to, its small environments, and the consequently little right I had to expect much of myself, and shall have the less to censure, or upbraid myself with for the failures I must see myself make.

  • None is so perfect that he does not need at times the advice of others.

    Perfect   Advice   Doe  
    Baltasar Gracian, Baltasar Gracián y Morales (2004). “The Art of Worldly Wisdom”, p.83, Shambhala Publications
  • Prophet may you be! If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!

    Memories   Hair   Cities  
    William Shakespeare (2014). “Arden Shakespeare Complete Works”, p.1172, Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Our souls demand Purgatory, don't they? Would it not break the heart if God said to us, It is true, my son, that your breath smells and your rags drip with mud and slime, but we are charitable here and no one will upbraid you with these things, nor draw away from you. Enter into joy? Should we not reply, With submission, sir, and if there is no objection, I'd rather be cleansed first. It may hurt, you know-even so, sir.

    Hurt   Heart   Son  
    C.S. Lewis (1996). “Joyful Christian”, p.222, Simon and Schuster
  • It is better to advise than upbraid, for the one corrects the erring; the other only convicts them.

    Advice   Upbraid   Erring  
  • The man who acts the least, upbraids the most.

    Men   Upbraid   He Man  
    Homer (1848). “The Iliad of Homer, Translated by Alexander Pope”, p.37
  • How vainly men themselves amaze To win the palm, the oak, or bays; And their uncessant labours see Crown'd from some single herb or tree. Whose short and narrow verged shade Does prudently their toils upbraid; While all flow'rs and all trees do close To weave the garlands of repose.

    Winning   Men   Tree  
    'The Garden' (1681) st. 1
  • Behold, I am become a reproach to thy holy name, by serving any ambition and the sins of others; which though I did by the persuasion of other men, yet my own conscience did cheek and upbraid me in it.

    Ambition   Men   Names
