“Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.”
Lord Byron
“We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.”
Kahlil Gibran
“Sleep, sleep, beauty bright,Dreaming in the joys of night;Sleep, sleep; in thy sleepLittle sorrows sit and weep.”
William Blake
“I know you are a woman of sorrowful spirit, yet be comforted, though you sorrows be great for you husband going out of the world, yet your pains shall be the less in bringing your child into the world; you shall be a joyful mother, though you be a sad widow; God hath many mercies in store for you; the prayer of a dying husband for you, will not be lost.”
Christopher Love
“They who increase knowledge, increase sorrow”
Proverb
“Poverty, disease, sorrow, imprisonment and other evils are the fruits borne by the tree of one's own sins.”
Chanakya
“A bird sang sweet and strongIn the top of the highest tree,He said, "I pour out my heart in songFor the summer that soon shall be."But deep in the shady wood,Another bird sang, "I pourMy heart on the solemn solitudeFor the springs that return no more."”
George William Curtis
