When one is consumed by the sorrows of life, three things give him relief: offspring, a wife, and the company of the Lord's devotees.

Let us treasure our joys but not bewail our sorrows.

Grief makes one hour ten.

My grief lies onward, and my joy behind.

To weep is to make less the depth of grief.

Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.
