That's why it's hard, I think, to rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. I love that line from the Bible, but it's so incredibly difficult sometimes, because when you've got reason to rejoice, you forget what it's like to mourn, even if you swear you never will. And because when you're mourning, the fact that someone close to you is rejoicing seems like a personal affront.

Shauna Niequist

"Should I comfort those who do not mourn?" Some preachers are too quick and too willing to hand out pardons to sinners who do not mourn over their crimes!

John William Fletcher

If we die, do not mourn for us. This is a risky business we're in, and we accept those risks. The space program is too valuable to this country to be halted for too long if a disaster should ever happen.

Gus Grissom

hen we mourn those who die young — those who have been robbed of time — we weep for lost joys. We weep for opportunities and pleasures we ourselves have never known. We feel sure that somehow that young body would have known the yearning delight for which we searched in vain all our lives.

Josephine Hart

It is one thing to mourn for sin because it exposes us to hell, and another to mourn for it because it is an infinite evil. It is one thing to mourn for it because it is injurious to ourselves; another, to mourn for it because it is offensive to God. It is one thing to be terrified; another, to be humbled.

Gardiner Spring

Someone who is about to die does not mourn the dead.

Friedrich Durrenmatt

Enemies are, to me, as important as friends in my life, and when they die I mourn their passing.

Jessica Mitford

To mourn was distressing, but to endeavor to mourn and fail was worse than distress.

Ellen Glasgow

But I guess that's the way it is. When you lose something irreplaceable, you don't mourn for the thing you lost. you mourn for yourself.

Harpo Marx

But to mourn, that's different. To mourn is to be eaten alive with homesickness for the person.

Olive Ann Burns

We all mourn in our own way. I mourn with a great steak.

Joan Rivers

Lead such a life, that, when you die, the people may mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

For us, the death of Osama bin Laden is a time of profound reflection. With his death, we remember and mourn all the lives lost on September 11. We remember and mourn all the lives lost in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan. We remember and mourn the death of our soldiers.

Jodie Evans

They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness.

Lord Byron

When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd / And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night, / I mourn'd, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.

Walt Whitman

Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance and love have no end, and the Lord of life holds all who die and all who mourn.

George W. Bush
