Man is the only animal who enjoys the consolation of believing in a next life; all other animals enjoy the consolation of not worrying about it.

Robert Breault

For those who need consolation no means of consolation is so effective as the assertion that in their case no consolation is possible: it implies so great a degree of distinction that they at once hold up their heads again.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Consolation has been wrongly reviled. Consolation is not apathy or inaction. It is not closing one's eyes to the evils of the world. Rather, consolation is the first step in regaining personal equilibrium and strength, which necessarily precedes the ability to act.

Vera Nazarian

The best consolation in misfortune or affliction of any kind will be the thought of other people who are in a still worse plight than yourself; and this is a form of consolation open to every one. But what an awful fate this means for mankind as a whole! We are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey.

Arthur Schopenhauer

If you have no earthly consolation, why do you not seek consolation in the Heart of Jesus? To love him is truest joy.

Rose Philippine Duchesne

When I am not too sad to listen, music is my consolation.

Marcel Proust

Nothing is to be presumed on, or despaired of.

George Herbert

Truly the stars were given for a consolation to man.

Henry David Thoreau

It is man's consolation that the future is to be a sunrise instead of a sunset.

Victor Hugo

If you are good at in the art of finding consolation, it means that you have the best medicine after the disasters.

Mehmet Murat Ildan

If the nobles of the country really have the welfare of the people at heart, they should prevent and forbid music wherever it makes an appearance. For the fact that the people practise music has four disadvantages. The hungry are not fed, the cold are not clothed, the homeless are not sheltered and the desperate find no consolation.

John Tilbury

Consolation of music is different from the one of words. It starts from the inside... It cries with you instead of telling you to stop crying.

Ji-Hae Park

CONSOLATION, n. The knowledge that a better man is more unfortunate than yourself.

Ambrose Bierce

The moment when a man's head drops off is seldom or never, I am inclined to think, precisely the most agreeable of his life. Nevertheless, like the greater part of our misfortunes, even so serious a contingency brings its remedy and consolation with it, if the sufferer will but make the best, rather than the worst, of the accident which has befallen him.
