“The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous.”
Niccolo Machiavelli
“The ache of grief is always there, but the emptiness will lift one day. Their life to us the greatest gift, and only by living can it be repaid.”
Jill Hanna
“You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived.You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,or you can be full of the love you shared.You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.You can remember her only that she is gone,or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back.Or you can do what she'd want:smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”
David Harkins
“No man can cause more grief than that one clinging blindly to the vices of his ancestors.”
William Faulkner
“He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.”
Bible
“Lucky that man whose children make his happiness in life and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes.”
Euripedes
“When a virtuous man is raised, it brings gladness to his friends, grief to his enemies, and glory to his posterity”
Ben Jonson
