There are sorrows that are not painful, but are of the nature of some acids, and give piquancy and flavor to life.

Henry Ward Beecher

In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim

Bono

In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some of my scripts need the larger catchment area of Bollywood. But some suit Telugu films.

Ram Gopal Varma

Love sorrows are addictive as other sorrows are not.

Mason Cooley

The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food. In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.

Joseph Campbell

He truly sorrows who sorrows unseen.

Martial

O God, take all our sorrows and use them to show us the nature of our joy.

Leslie Weatherhead

...the sorrows God sent us brought comfort and strength with them, while the sorrows we brought on ourselves, through folly or wickedness, were by far the hardest to bear.

Lucy Maud Montgomery

A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.

William Wordsworth

Nature's ways are wonderful and unfathomable. The grain swells in the soil, the sprout grows and flowers when the time comes and then it bears new fruit and so does not die. We are like grain. We never die because we are One with Nature. To understand this is to comprehend Immortality--the Apotheosis of the Human Race. It is with this conviction that I have lived my Life. My Life is a store of my experience, a Life of aspirations, sorrows, joys and triumphs.

Martiros Saryan

If you ever know a man who tries to drown his sorrows, kindly inform him his sorrows know how to swim.

Pittacus Lore

Bear sorrows for the sake of the Heavenly Kingdom. Without sorrows there is no salvation. On the other hand, the Kingdom of God awaits those who have patiently endured. And all the glory of the world is nothing in comparison. My joy! I implore you to acquire a peaceful spirit.

Seraphim of Sarov

I can bear my own sorrows, but the sorrows arising from the calamities visiting Islam and Muslims have crushed me. I feel each blow delivered to the Muslim world as delivered first to my own heart.
