The safe and general antidote against sorrow is employment.

Samuel Johnson

There is nothing like employment, active indispensable employment, for relieving sorrow. Employment, even melancholy, may dispel melancholy.

Jane Austen

The safe and general antidote against sorrow is employment. It is commonly observed, that among soldiers and seamen, though there is much kindness, there is little grief; they see their friend fall without any of that lamentation which is indulged in security and idleness, because they have no leisure to spare from the care of themselves; and whoever shall keep his thoughts equally busy will find himself equally unaffected with irretrievable losses.

Samuel Johnson

Work is the best antidote to sorrow, my dear Watson.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Both to the rich and poor, wine is the happy antidote for sorrow.

Euripides

Work is an antidote for anxiety, an ointment for sorrow, and a doorway to possibility.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

New technology is the true friend of full employment; the indispensable ally of progress; and the surest guarantee of prosperity.

Margaret Thatcher

Not a sorrow, not a burden, not a temptation, not a bereavement, not a disappointment, not a care, not a groan or tear, but has its antidote in God's rich and inexhaustible resources.

George C. Lorimer

If all men and women were kept at some useful employment there would be less sorrow and wickedness in the world.

Dorothy Nevill

If leaders don't have an antidote for fear they will be crushed by it. What is your antidote?

Bill Hybels

Music can minister to minds diseased, pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, raze out the written troubles of the brain, and with its sweet oblivious antidote, cleanse the full bosom of all perilous stuff that weighs upon the heart.

William Shakespeare

The best thing you can do is just keep busy, keep working hard, so you're not dwelling on it all the time. Work is the best antidote for sorrow.

Gordon B. Hinckley

We tend to think that employment is employment, and we don't ask the question: is this rewarding employment? Research establishes pretty clearly that typical notions of happiness - that more is better - really don't correspond to the way people think and feel.

Michael Spence

Repentance always brings a person to the point of saying, “I have sinned.” The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes-a reflex action caused by self-disgust.

Oswald Chambers

Life goes on after sorrow, in spite of sorrow, as a defense against sorrow.

Cornelia Meigs

In all of history, we have found just one cure for error—a partial antidote against making and repeating grand, foolish mistakes, a remedy against self-deception. That antidote is criticism.

David Brin
