In all human sorrow nothing gives comfort but love and faith, and that in the sight of Christ's compassion for us no sorrow is trifiling. (Leo Tolstoy)
Remembering bred its own peculiar sorrow. It seemed so unfair: that time should render both sadness and happiness into a source of pain. View quote
Rohinton Mistry
Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege to the place and attacks it; and when it departs, sorrow and repentance remain behind. View quote
Leonardo da Vinci
In durance vile here must I wake and weep, And all my frowsy couch in sorrow steep. View quote
Robert Burns
When the melancholy fit shall fall Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud, That fosters the droop-headed flowers all, And hides the green hill in an April shroud; Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose. View quote
John Keats
Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care; The opening bud to heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there. View quote
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy. View quote
Chanakya
Many [hooligans] discover to their shame that they have scruples; they have roots and, greatest disadvantage of all, they have hope. The fathers superior of the order do not try to influence their children in Satan; they merely shake their heads in sorrow. They know that the apostate must work out his own damnation. View quote
Quentin Crisp
I am gone into the fields To take what this sweet hour yields; - Reflection, you may come to-morrow, Sit by the fireside with Sorrow. - You with the unpaid bill, Despair, - You, tiresome verse-reciter, Care, - I will pay you in the grave, - Death will listen to your stave. View quote
Percy Bysshe Shelley
If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it. View quote
Lyndon B. Johnson
For beauty with sorrow Is a burden hard to be borne: The evening light on the foam, and the swans, there; That music, remote, forlorn. (Walter de la Mare)
A face peered. All the grey night In chaos of vacancy shone; Nought but vast sorrow was there- The sweet cheat gone. View quote
Walter de la Mare
The joyful will stoop with sorrow, and when you have gone to the earth I will let my hair grow long for your sake, I will wander through the wilderness in the skin of a lion. View quote
Michael Ondaatje
Max lifted his head, with great sorrow and great astonishment. 'There were stars,' He said. 'They burned my eyes.' ... from a Himmel street window, he wrote, the stars set fire to my eyes. View quote
Markus Zusak
Since our society equates happiness with youth, we often assume that sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness go hand in hand with getting older. They don't. Emotional pain or numbness are symptoms of living the wrong life, not a long life. View quote
Martha Beck
The day will come when you will review your life and be thankful for every minute of it. Every hurt, every sorrow, every joy, every celebration, every moment of your life will be a treasure to you, for you will see the utter perfection of the design. You will stand back from the weaving and see the tapestry, and you will weep at the beauty of it. View quote
Neale Donald Walsch
I found that the only way I could control this sorrow was not to think of [it] at all, which was almost as painful as the loss itself. View quote
Robin McKinley
It's the sorrow you feel that allows you to crave love. Without the suffering, there would be no true pleasure. Without tears, no joy. Without deficiency, no longing. This is the secret of the human heart, Rom. View quote
Ted Dekker
Music is the voice of all sorrow, all joy. It needs no translation. View quote
Helen Exley
There's a sorrow and pain in everyone's life, but every now and then there's a ray of light that melts the loneliness in your heart and brings comfort like hot soup and a soft bed. View quote
Hubert Selby Jr.
Try to comprehend the unity of all; there is one God, and all are one in Him. If we can but bring home to ourselves the unity of that Eternal Love, there will be no more sorrow for us; for we shall realize, not for ourselves alone but for those whom we love, that whether we live or die, we are the Lord's, and that in Him we live and move and have our being, whether it be in this world or in the world to come. (Charles Webster Leadbeater)
Perhaps the greatest of the many fundamental changes which are inevitable for the man who studies the facts of life is that which is produced in his attitude towards death. This matter has been fully treated elsewhere; here I need state only that the knowledge of the truth about death robs it of all its terror and much of its sorrow, and enables us to see it in its true proportion and to understand its place in the scheme of our evolution. It is perfectly possible to learn to know about all these things instead of accepting beliefs blindly at second-hand, as most people do; and knowledge means power, security and happiness. View quote
Charles Webster Leadbeater
Sorrow spares no one, and scars respect no person. View quote
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Everyone is in pain. No matter where they come from or what you think of them. Sorrow spares no one. View quote
Sherrilyn Kenyon
The cure for sorrow is to learn something. View quote
