Sorrow is brief but joy is endless

Friedrich Schiller

Never wallow in your troubles; despair must be kept private and brief.

Werner Herzog

Choose well. Your choice is brief, and yet endless.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

People are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles.

Enoch Powell

How could I think the brief years were enough To prove the reality of endless love?

Delmore Schwartz

Without a doubt, one of the things which keeps us from attaining perfection is our tongue. When one has reached the point of no longer committing faults in speech, he has surely reached perfection, as was said by the Holy Spirit. The worst defect in talking is talking too much. Hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.

Saint Francis de Sales

Take all the pleasures of all the spheres, And multiply each through endless years,- One minute of heaven is worth them all.

Charles Lamb

Of troubles know I none, Of pleasures know I many - I rove beneath the sun, Without a single penny.

Eleanor Farjeon

Death is not the end of who we are. It is only a brief pause in the endless cycle of our lives. Each of us is a spirit that cannot die.

Frederick Lenz

The Buddhist mind is more complicated than the Christian mind. It comes up with endless heavens, endless hells, endless earths, and then we have something lower than hell. We have endless sub-realms that make hell look like Club Med and we have endless nirvana.

Frederick Lenz

Take all away. I am content to know Such love is mine-for life is all too brief To grieve for pleasures bringing only grief; Give me but You; it is enough just so.

Ruth Graham

I will be brief. Not nearly so brief as Salvador Dali, who gave the world's shortest speech. He said I will be so brief I have already finished, and he sat down.

Gene Fowler

I call it "pedal magic" and only those who ride know the utter ecstasy of bicycling. Pressing a pedal toward Earth gives flight to my fancy. Every rotation powers my traveling machine toward yet another date with destiny. The breeze clears my senses. The wind blows away my troubles. The sun shines upon my future. Spinning spokes create flashing metal upon an endless path-cycling feels like an infinite spiritual rush. It cleanses my mind. All my troubles fade into joy.

Frosty Wooldridge

By recollecting the pleasures I have had formerly, I renew them, I enjoy them a second time, while I laugh at the remembrance of troubles now past, and which I no longer feel.

Giacomo Casanova

The universe is endless. Enlightenment is endless. You have only touched the outer periphery of the endless still center of perfect being.

Frederick Lenz

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

Dr. Seuss
