“Any mind that is capable of real sorrow is capable of good”
Harriet Beecher Stowe
“We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.”
Kahlil Gibran
“The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.”
Mahatma Gandhi

William Blake
“There is no greater sorrow than to be mindful of the happy time in misery.”
Dante Alighieri
“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
“Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, raze out the written troubles of the brain, and with some sweet oblivious antidote cleanse the fraught bosom of that perilous stuff which weighs upon the heart?”
William Shakespeare
