“One who weeps for the sake of worldly objects, O Baba, weeps totally in vain.”
Guru Nanak
“Defrauded by Maya and worldly affairs, the weepers weep. They weep for the sake of worldly affairs, and they do not wash off their own filth, the world is a dream.”
“I have full cause of weeping, but this heart shall break into a hundred thousand flaws or ere I'll weep.”
William Shakespeare
“And weep the more, because I weep in vain.”
Thomas Gray
“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.”
“We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.”
Charles de Montesquieu
“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
