Over Tears Waste Yesterday

Quote Author

Euripides
Greek - Poet
480 BC - 406 BC

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Euripides

Time will explain it all. Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday. One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.

Euripides

Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Euripides

Why would I cry over a boy? I would never waste my tears on a boy. Why waste your tears on someone who makes you cry?

Kirsten Dunst

It is sweet to mingle tears with tears; Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.

Seneca the Younger

I will live this day as if it is my last. …I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, Yesterday’s defeats, yesterday’s aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?

Og Mandino

In youth one has tears without grief; in age, griefs without tears

Philibert Joseph Roux

We can't afford to waste tears on might-have-beens. We need to turn the tears into sweat that can take us to what can be.

Denis Waitley

It is only kindred griefs that draw forth our tears, and each weeps really for himself.

Heinrich Heine

I certainly have a lot to lament, as do we all, everybody has their griefs. But the griefs we can fix, shouldn't we go around fixing them?

Elizabeth Edwards

Blaire, This teardrop represents many things. The tears I know you’ve shed over holding your mother’s piece of satin. The tears you’ve shed over each loss you’ve experienced. But it also represents the tears we’ve both shed as we’ve felt the little life inside you begin to move. The tears I’ve shed over the fact I’ve been given someone like you to love. I never imagined anyone like you Blaire. But every time I think about forever with you I’m humbled that you chose me. This is your something blue. I love you, Rush

Abbi Glines

There are some griefs so loud/They could bring down the sky/And there are griefs so still/None knows how deep they lie.

May Sarton

You know, he told me once, completely exasperated, you've got one glass of water inside your head, with all the tears for a lifetime. If you waste them over nothing, then you won't be able to cry for real when you need to.

Jodi Picoult

All these tears shed in the world, where do they go? If one could capture all of them, they could water the parched. Then perhaps these tears would have value and all this grief would have some meaning. Otherwise, it was all a waste, just an endless cycle of birth and death; of love and loss.

Thrity Umrigar

Men ought to know that from the brain, and from the brain only, arise our pleasures, joy, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs, and tears.
