A love of nature is a consolation against failure.
Berthe Morisot
Every man, either to his terror or consolation, has some sense of religion.
Heinrich Heine
I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence.
Christopher Columbus
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
I picked up the writing on the very day he died. It was the only consolation I could find.
Wilfrid Sheed
I really enjoy the consolation when I'm having to cut loose stuff I love, of saying 'Well, at least it will make it onto DVD.' There's a couple of scenes which I liked very much, but couldn't fit them into the film that are on there.
Jay Roach

Frank Moore Colby
The Bible was a consolation to a fellow alone in the old cell. The lovely thin paper with a bit of matress stuffing in it, if you could get a match, was as good a smoke as I ever tasted.
Brendan Behan
The defects of great men are the consolation of the dunces.
Isaac Disraeli
The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.
