Sorrow Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Sorrow

1.
With no matter what human being, taken individually, I always find reasons for concluding that sorrow and misfortune do not suit him; either because he seems too mediocre for anything so great, or, on the contrary, too precious to be destroyed.
Weil, Simone

2.
Sorrow is a kind of rust of the soul, which every new idea contributes in its passage to scour away. It is the putrefaction of stagnant life, and is remedied by exercise and motion.
Johnson, Samuel

3.
Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
Blake, William

4.
The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings -- crowded, active, thick. But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow's horizons are vague and its demands are few.
Mcmurtry, Larry

5.
Sorrow has produced more melody than mirth.
Fitzhugh, C.

6.
Sorrow makes us children again.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

7.
Only one-fourth of the sorrow in each man's life is caused by outside uncontrollable elements, the rest is self-imposed by failing to analyze and act with calmness.
Jackson, George Holbrook

8.
Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.
Tyler, Steven

9.
The deeper the sorrow the less the tongue has it.
Talmud, The

10.
Since my earliest childhood a barb of sorrow has lodged in my heart. As long as it stays I am ironic -- if it is pulled out I shall die.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

11.
The sorrows and disasters of Europe always brought fortune to America.
Leacock, Stephen B.

12.
Pain and fear and hunger are effects of causes which can be foreseen and known: but sorrow is a debt which someone else makes for us.
Stark, Freya

13.
Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.
Blake, William

14.
There is pleasure in calm remembrance of a past sorrow.
Cicero, Marcus T.

15.
But, truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter.
Rimbaud, Arthur

16.
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Richter, Jean Paul

17.
Melancholy and sadness are the start of doubt... doubt is the beginning of despair; despair is the cruel beginning of the differing degrees of wickedness.
Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

18.
The cure for sorrow is to learn something.
Sher, Barbara

19.
Cares are often more difficult to throw off than sorrows; the latter die with time, the former grow.
Paul, Jean

20.
Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day prove to be for your good.
Ovid

21.
Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the world. It is a product of our own thought. We create it out of whole cloth.
Durkheim, Emile

22.
And almost everyone when age, disease, or sorrows strike him, inclines to think there is a God, or something very like him.
Clough, Arthur Hugh

23.
It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less with baldness.
Cicero, Marcus T.

24.
Some say that happiness is not good for mortals, and they ought to be answered that sorrow is not fit for immortals and is utterly useless to any one; a blight never does good to a tree, and if a blight kill not a tree but it still bear fruit, let none say that the fruit was in consequence of the blight.
Blake, William

25.
Sorrow is better than laughter, for by the sadness of the face the heart is made better.
Bible

26.
Where there is sorrow there is holy ground.
Wilde, Oscar

27.
Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, great as each may be, their highest comfort given to the sorrowful is a cordial introduction into another's woe. Sorrow's the great community in which all men born of woman are members at one time or another.
O'Casey, Sean

28.
Sorrow is easy to express and so hard to tell.
Mitchell, Joni

29.
The path of sorrow and that path alone, leads to a land where sorrow is unknown.
Cowper, William

30.
Sorrow is the rust of the soul and activity will cleanse and brighten it.
Johnson, Samuel

31.
We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression.
Confucius

32.
Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.
Byron, Lord

33.
The only thing grief as taught me is to know how shallow it is.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.
There is something in sorrow more akin to the course of human affairs than joy.
Fitzhugh, C.

35.
Sorrow makes us all children again, destroys all differences of intellect. The wisest knows nothing.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
A sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier times.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred

37.
Sorrow is tranquility remembered in emotion.
Parker, Dorothy

38.
Sorrow has the fortunate peculiarity that it preys upon itself. It dies of starvation. Since it is essentially an interruption of habits, it can be replaced by new habits. Constituting, as it does, a void, it is soon filled up by a real horror vacuum.
Strindberg, J. August
