When a man's eyes are sore his friends do not let him finger them, however much he wishes to, nor do they themselves touch the inflammation: But a man sunk in grief suffers every chance comer to stir and augment his affliction like a running sore; and by reason of the fingering and consequent irritation it hardens into a serious and intractable evil.

Plutarch

Some people imagine that by returning to tradition, you will renew it. This is not true, for by returning to tradition, you renew nothing. But by setting out from it and adding to it, you renew its power, because only by addition can you prepare the future path for the living sap within it.

Jabra Ibrahim Jabra

Thou silent power, whose welcome sway charms every anxious thought away; in whose divine oblivion drown'd, sore pain and weary toil grow mild, love is with kinder looks beguiled, and Grief forgets her fondly cherish'd wound; oh, whither hast thou flown, indulgent god? God of kind shadows and of healing dews, whom dost thou touch with thy Lethaean rod? Around whose temples now thy opiate airs diffuse?

Mark Akenside

I don't get sore. If you're working out every day, you're not going to be sore.

Brooks Koepka

I love to be sore and when I feel sore I train even harder.

Serge Nubret

It is the obligation of the ruler to continually renew himself in order to renew the people by his example.

Confucius

Kay Redfield Jamison

I'm more thoughtful and aware of how my body feels. I've learned the difference of what is just sore from a hard workout or what's sore from a possible injury.

Kaetlyn Osmond

You're never going to get your best workout if you're feeling sore and you're going to feel sore if you don't stretch.

Andi Dorfman

I don't want to be in my meetings all sore or be at my son's graduation all sore just because of something I did in the past. (I'm) just learning and being smart.

Derrick Rose

You can't be a sore loser or a sore fan.

Jadakiss

Total grief is like a minefield. No knowing when one will touch the tripwire.

Sylvia Townsend Warner

When we give what we can, and give it with joy, we don't just renew the American tradition of giving, we also renew ourselves.

William J. Clinton

Whether you and I and a few others will renew the world some day remains to be seen. But within ourselves we must renew it each day.

Hermann Hesse

Grief, when it comes, is nothing we expect it to be. Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life.

Joan Didion

But touch me, and no minister so sore. Whoe'er offends, at some unlucky time Slides into verse, and hitches in a rhyme, Sacred to ridicule his whole life long, And the sad burthen of some merry song.

Alexander Pope
