Sorrow Quotes
-
Sometimes you gotta laugh through the tears, smile through the pain so that you can live through the sorrow.
Alex Tan
-
It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.
Charles Dickens
-
You can't describe love, Kathie, and you can't define it. Only it goes with you all your life. I think that love is more like a light that you carry. At first childish happiness keeps it lighted and after that romance. Then motherhood lights it and then duty...and maybe after that sorrow. You wouldn't think that sorrow could be a light would you, dearie? But it can. And then after that, service lights it. Yes...I think that is what love is to a woman...a lantern in her hand.

A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated - this is the greatest blessing.
Gautama Buddha
-
I wanted to pray for an hour, but I keep thinking and thinking, and always sick thoughts, and my head aches - what is the use of praying? - it's only a sin! It is strange, too, that I am not sleepy: in great, too great sorrow, after the first outbursts one is always sleepy. Men condemned to death, they say, sleep very soundly on the last night. And so it must be, it si the law of nature, otherwise their strength would not hold out... I lay down on the sofa but I did not sleep...
Fyodor Dostoevsky
-
Mrs. Schneiderman's theory of life was that earth held no sorrow that food could not heal.
Bess Streeter Aldrich

No sorrow is deeper than the remembrance of happiness when in misery.
Dante Alighieri

"Existence is sorrow." Understand, and go beyond sorrow. This is the way of brightness.
Gautama Buddha

Impatience dries the blood sooner than age or sorrow.
Edwin Hubbell Chapin

"All is passing". When one realises this, he sits loose to this world of sorrow : This is the way of purity.
Gautama Buddha
-
Emotion, whether of ridicule, anger, or sorrow,--whether raised at a puppet show, a funeral, or a battle,--is your grandest of levellers. The man who would be always superior should be always apathetic.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
-
...joy takes a strange effect at times, it seems to oppress us almost the same as sorrow.
Alexandre Dumas
