Sorrow Quotes
-
Sorrow breaks seasons and reposing hours, Makes the night morning, and the noontide night.
William Shakespeare
-
Worry is a down payment on a problem you may never have. It doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, just empties today of its strength.
Ziad K. Abdelnour
-
Behind one pain there is another. Sorrow is a wave without end. But the horse mustn't ride you, you must ride it.
Simone Schwarz-Bart
-
Fairy tale does not deny the existence of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance. It denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat...giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy; Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief.
J. R. R. Tolkien
-
I believe the bicentenary offers us a chance not just to say how profoundly shameful the slave trade was - how we condemn its existence utterly and praise those who fought for its abolition - but also to express our deep sorrow that it could ever have happened and rejoice at the better times we live in today.
Tony Blair
-
Today, when we look at a brain, we see an intricate network of billions of neurons in constant, crackling communication, a chemical labyrinth that senses the world outside and within, produces love and sorrow, keeps our hearts beating and lungs breathing, composes our thoughts, and constructs our consciousness.
Carl Zimmer
-
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
Amelia Josephine Burr
-
We have taught our people to use prayer too much as a means of comfort - not in the original and heroic sense of uplifting, inspiring, strengthening, but in the more modern and baser sense of soothing sorrow, dulling pain, and drying tears - the comfort of the cushion, not the comfort of the Cross.
Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy
-
Great sorrows have no leisure to complain:
Least ills vent forth, great griefs within remain.
William Goffe
-
Sorrow spoken lends a little courage to the speaker.
Walter Wangerin
-
When some one sorrow, that is yet reparable, gets hold of your mind like a monomania,--when you think, because Heaven has denied you this or that, on which you had set your heart, that all your life must be a blank,--oh, then diet yourself well on biography,--the biography of good and great men. See how little a space one sorrow really makes in life. See scarce a page, perhaps, given to some grief similar to your own, and how triumphantly the life sails on beyond it.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
-
No emotion falls into dislike so readily as sorrow.
Seneca the Younger
