Dying is only one thing to be sad over... Living unhappily is something else.

Melancholy and sadness are the start of doubt... doubt is the beginning of despair despair is the cruel beginning of the differing degrees of wickedness.

Sadness flies away on the wings of time.

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.

My father's death, my move, and my frightening and difficult delivery created a tremendous amount of stress, pain, and sadness for me. I was practically devastated beyond recovery.

When I seemed to be irritable or sad, my father would quote the learned Dr. Knight, and then say, 'Just go to sleep.' Like all smart aleck kids, I thought the advice was silly. But as I've grown older, I've realized just how smart Knight was.

My parents' divorce left me with a lot of sadness and pain and acting, and especially humour, was my way of dealing with all that.

Time takes away the grief of men.

Crying is cleansing. There's a reason for tears, happiness or sadness.
