“Sorrow is tranquillity remembered in emotion.”
Dorothy Parker
“A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
Oscar Wilde

Kahlil Gibran

“Sorrow is tranquility remembered in emotion.”
“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
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
