It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quiet tender joy.
The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves.
- Can I see another's woe,
- And not be in sorrow too?
- Can I see another's grief,
- And not seek for kind relief?
WILLIAM BLAKE, On Another's Sorrow
Grief teaches the steadiest minds to waver.
Joy and grief were mingled in the cup; but there were no bitter tears: for even grief itself arose so softened, and clothed in such sweet and tender recollections, that it became a solemn pleasure, and lost all character of pain.
- Forbear to trifle longer with thy grief,
- Which, vulture-like, consumes thee in this den.
Great grief is a divine and terrible radiance which transfigures the wretched.
- Give sorrow words: the grief that does not speak
- Whispers the o'er-fraught heart, and bids it break.
In life there is not time to grieve long.
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
