To be bowed by grief is folly; Naught is gained by melancholy; Better than the pain of thinking, Is to steep the sense in drinking.
Alcaeus
To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own.
Tryon Edwards
To touch a sore is to renew one's grief.
Terence
Toil is man's allotment; toil of brain, or toil of hands, or a grief that's more than either, the grief and sin of idleness.
Herman Melville
Touch'd either the Passions of Rage or Grief to a Miracle.
Barton Booth
Verse is not written, it is bled; Out of the poet's abstract head. Words drip the poem on the page; Out of his grief, delight and rage.
Paul Engle
We have been filled with grief as we have witnessed the decline of the North American Church that was once filled with missionary zeal and yet now seems determined to bury itself in a deadly embrace with the spirit of the age.
Peter Akinola
We may not commit a lesser Sin under pretence to avoid a greater, but we may, nay we ought to endure the greatest Pain and Grief rather than commit the least Sin.
Mary Astell
Well the themes for me were and remain sex and love and grief and death - the things that make us and undo us, create and destroy, how we breed and disappear and the emotional context that surrounds these events.
Thomas Lynch
What is deservedly suffered must be borne with calmness, but when the pain is unmerited, the grief is resistless.
Ovid
When a child can be brought to tears, and not from fear of punishment, but from repentance he needs no chastisement. When the tears begin to flow from the grief of their conduct you can be sure there is an angel nestling in their heart.
Horace Mann
When Michael died I was tipped over the edge. I was beyond grief.
Paula Yates
When sadness happens in the middle of work, I separate my personal grief from my train of thought.
Sergio Aragones
Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates.
Samuel Johnson
Whoever happens to give birth to mischievous children lives always with unending grief in his spirit and heart.
Hesiod
You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.
Nigella Lawson
