Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.
When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression.
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.
Tears are the silent language of grief.
Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.
