Sorrow Quotes
-
We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds; only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.
Boyd K. Packer
-
No end to sorrow, caused by the same endless fears. Why can't we learn from all we've been through after two thousand years?
Billy Joel
-
Our respect for the dead, when they are just dead, is something wonderful, and the way we show it more wonderful still. We show it with black feathers and black horses; we show it with black dresses and black heraldries; we show it with costly obelisks and sculptures of sorrow, which spoil half of our beautiful cathedrals. We show it with frightful gratings and vaults, and lids of dismal stone, in the midst of the quiet grass; and last, and not least, we show it by permitting ourselves to tell any number of falsehoods we think amiable or credible in the epitaph.
John Ruskin
-
The cure for sorrow is to learn something.
Barbara Sher
-
If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.
Confucius
-
National partition is a sorrow that touches all Koreans, but for me it is brought to the fore by unimaginable personal suffering.
Park Geun-hye
-
Even so We find the sea of sorrow. Black as night The sullen surface meets our frightened gaze, As down we sink to darkness and despair.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
-
When you celebrate, it's something that happens as a group. But when you mourn, sorrow is something that you handle as an individual.
Irvin Mayfield
-
I thought I could describe a state; make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, hoever, turns out to be not a state but a process.
C. S. Lewis
-
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
Sophocles
-
If we do not suffer a loss all the way to the end, it will wait for us. It won’t just dissipate and disappear. Rather, it will fester, and we will experience its sorrow later, in stranger forms.
Elizabeth Lesser
-
Terror works like a musical composition, so many instruments, all in tune, playing perfectly together to create their desired effect. Sorrow and horror and fear.
Nancy Gibbs
-
I made your sorrow mine also, that you might have help in bearing it.
Oscar Wilde
-
A prayerful heart and an obedient heart will learn, very slowly and not without sorrow, to stake everything on God Himself.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
Prosperity, pleasure and success, may be rough of grain and common in fibre, but sorrow is the most sensitive of all created things. There is nothing that stirs in the whole world of thought to which sorrow does not vibrate in terrible and exquisite pulsation. The thin beaten-out leaf of tremulous gold that chronicles the direction of forces the eye cannot see is in comparison coarse. It is a wound that bleeds when any hand but that of love touches it, and even then must bleed again, though not in pain.
Oscar Wilde
-
My heart is tuned to sorrow, and the strings Vibrate most readily to minor chords, Searching and sad; my mind is stuffed with words Which voice the passion and the ache of things: Illusions beating with their baffled wings Against the walls of circumstance.
Amy Lowell
