Hamlet: "...To die, - to sleep, - No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, - 't is consummation Devoutly to be wished... " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Hamlet’, act III, sc. 1) — Гамлет: "...Умереть - уснуть - не более того. И подумать только, что этим сном закончится боль сердца и тысяча жизненных ударов, являющихся уделом плоти, - ведь это конец, которого можно от души пожелать..." (перевод М. Морозова)

He assured Edward that time was the only remedy... but after further pressing consented to send Bertha a bottle of harmless tonic, which it was his habit to give to all and sundry for most of the ills to which the flesh is heir. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Mrs. Craddock’, ch. XX) — Доктор Рамсей уверял Эдуарда, что время - лучший исцелитель... но потом все-таки согласился прислать Берте пузырек безвредной микстуры, которой он лечил своих пациентов от большинства недугов, поражающих плоть.

‘You think what you call "social ownership" will be a cure for all the ills the flesh is heir to, don't you, Bill?’ Frisco liked to give himself an air of leisurely cynicism. ‘Put an end to the whole business of exploitation, poverty and war?’ (K. S. Prichard, ‘Winged Seeds’, ch. II) — - И это ваше так называемое обобществление собственности вы считаете панацеей от всех зол, так, что ли, Билл? - спросил Фриско, любивший поиронизировать. - И собираетесь положить конец эксплуатации, нищете, войнам?
