“Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.”
William Blake
“Excess of sorrow laughs, excess of joy weeps.”
“Sleep, sleep, beauty bright,Dreaming in the joys of night;Sleep, sleep; in thy sleepLittle sorrows sit and weep.”
“Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!”
“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.”
William Shakespeare
“I have full cause of weeping, but this heart shall break into a hundred thousand flaws or ere I'll weep.”
“We neither laugh alone, nor weep alone, why then should we pray alone?”
Anna Letitia Barbauld
