“To Sorrow / I bade good-morrow, / And thought to leave her far away behind; / But cheerly, cheerly, / She loves me dearly; / She is so constant to me, and so kind.”
John Keats
“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
“We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.”
Kahlil Gibran
“Sleep, sleep, beauty bright,Dreaming in the joys of night;Sleep, sleep; in thy sleepLittle sorrows sit and weep.”
William Blake
“If a man take no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.”
Confucius
“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
“People who I thought didn't care, you know, white people, they started expressing their sorrow. They came down and hugged us. Some of them started even crying. Even the older ones, they came and said, 'Come worship at our church.”
Wardell Harris
