Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.

Short time seems long in sorrow's sharp sustaining.

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.

Greater than all the joys of heaven and earth, Greater still than dominion over all the worlds, Is the joy of reaching the stream.

The source of all humor is not laughter, but sorrow.

One filled with the joy preaches without preaching.
