Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.

There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.

Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.

Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all.

Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.

Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.

Our trials, our sorrows, and our grieves develop us.

Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.
