We pick our own sorrows out of the joys of other men, and from their sorrows likewise we derive our joys.

Owen Feltham

What is the sign of a friend? Is it that he tells you his secret sorrows? No, it is that he tells you his secret joys. Many people will confide their secret sorrows to you, but the final mark of intimacy is when they share their secret joys with you.

Oswald Chambers

While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of life’s joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this world’s sorrows, tasting the coming joy.

Timothy Keller

Go forth into the busy world and love it. Interest yourself in its life, mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life brings sorrows and joys alike. It is what a man does with them - not what they do to him - that is the true test of his mettle.

Theodore Roosevelt

My Lord Jesus has fully recompensed my sadness with his joys, my losses with his own presence. I find it a sweet and rich thing to exchange my sorrows with Christ's joys, my afflictions with that sweet peace I have with himself.

Samuel Rutherford

The true poetry of life: the poetry of the commonplace, of the ordinary man, of the plain, toil-worn woman, with their loves and their joys, their sorrows and their griefs.

William Osler

Now I am in my eighties, and I have known the joys and sorrows of a full life. Age, however, has its privileges. One is to reminisce, and another is to reminisce selectively.

Rose Kennedy

A passionately lived life is not always comfortable. Going for it involves being open to all of life - the joys, the sorrows, the mundane as well and the magic, the splendid victories, the most abject defeats. You might even stop closing your eyes during the scary parts of the movie.

Nicholas Lore

Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.

William Blake

Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.

Friedrich Schiller

I internalise things. My sorrows and joys are private.

Arjun Kapoor

Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!

William Blake

As the rose-tree is composed of the sweetest flowers and the sharpest thorns, as the heavens are sometimes overcast—alternately tempestuous and serene—so is the life of man intermingled with hopes and fears, with joys and sorrows, with pleasure and pain.
