Great griefs exhaust. They discourage us with life. The man into whom they enter feels something taken from him. In youth, their visit is sad later on, it is ominous.
Victor Hugo
Image
Secret griefs are more cruel than public calamities.
Voltaire
Image
The truth is, we pamper little griefs into great ones, and bear great ones as well as we can.
William Hazlitt
Image
No, no 'tis all men's office to speak patience To those that wring under the load of sorrow, But no man's virtue nor sufficiency To be so moral when he shall endure The like himself. Therefore give me no counsel: My griefs cry louder than advertisement.
William Shakespeare
Image
And what art thou, thou idol Ceremony? What kind of god art thou, that suffer'st more Of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers?
William Shakespeare
Image
A heavier task could not have been impos'd, Than I to speak my griefs unspeakable.
William Shakespeare
Image
When remedies are past, the griefs are ended By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended.
William Shakespeare
Image
For sudden Joys, like Griefs, confound at first.
Daniel Defoe
Image
People complain about their griefs and sorrows and how they pray to God but find no relief from pain. But grief itself is a gift from God. It is the symbol of His compassion.
Sarada Devi
Image
Those griefs smart most which are seen to be of our own choice.
Sophocles
Image
More lightly do his sorrows press upon a man, when to a friend or fellow traveller he tells his griefs.
Callimachus
Image
Time will explain it all. Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday. One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.
Euripides
Image
Some of your griefs you have cured, And the sharpest you still have survived, But what torments of grief you've endured From evils that never arrived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Whate'er thy joys, they vanish with the day: Whate'er thy griefs, in sleep they fade away, To sleep! to sleep! Sleep, mournful heart, and let the past be past: Sleep, happy soul, all life will sleep at last.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
It is easier for an artful Man, who is not in Love, to persuade his Mistress he has a Passion for her, and to succeed in his Pursuits, than for one who loves with the greatest Violence. True Love hath ten thousand Griefs, Impatiencies and Resentments, that render a Man unamiable in the Eyes of the Person whose Affection he sollicits.
Joseph Addison
Image
The tomato hides its griefs. Internal damage is hard to spot.
Julia Child
Image
He who can conceal his joys, is greater than he who can hide his griefs
Johann Kaspar Lavater
Image
If our inward griefs were written on our brows, how many who are envied now would be pitied. It would seem that they had their deadliest foe in their own breast, and their whole happiness would be reduced to mere seeming.
Pietro Metastasio
Image
We are not alone in our loneliness, others have been here and known griefs we thought our special own.
Patrick Kavanagh
Image
There are such things as consecrated griefs, sorrows that may be common to everyone but which take on a special character when accepted intelligently and offered to God in loving submission.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
Seneca the Younger
Image
My compositions spring from my sorrows. Those that give the world the greatest delight were born of my deepest griefs.
Franz Schubert
Image
Men ought to know that from the brain, and from the brain only, arise our pleasures, joy, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs, and tears.
Hippocrates
Image
In all states of dilemma or of difficulty, prayer is an available source. The ship of prayer may sail through all temptations, doubts and fears, straight up to the throne of God and though she may be outward bound with only griefs, and groans, and sighs, she shall return freighted with a wealth of blessings!
Charles Spurgeon
