We tell our triumphs to the crowds but our own hearts are the sole confidants of our sorrows.

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

The rose and the thorn and sorrow and gladness are linked together.

Can I see another's woe and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief and not seek for kind relief?

In this world full often our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.

Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows but we can choose to live in joy.

Make the most of your regrets never smother your sorrow but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Mankind is like dogs not gods - as long as you don't get mad they'll bite you - but stay mad and you'll never be bitten. Dogs don't respect humility and sorrow.
