“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: / Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) / For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: / Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
Bible
“I have full cause of weeping, but this heart shall break into a hundred thousand flaws or ere I'll weep.”
William Shakespeare
“Two walking baths; two weeping motions;/ Portable, and compendious oceans.”
Richard Crashaw
“He that is thy friend indeed,He will help thee in thy need:If thou sorrow, he will weep;If thou wake, he cannot sleep:Thus of every grief in heartHe with thee does bear a part.These are certain signs to knowFaithful friend from flattering foe.”
“While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight, I'll fight to the very end!”
William Booth
“We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.”
Charles de Montesquieu
“One weeps not save when one is afraid, and that is why kings are tyrants.”
Marquis De Sade
