Quote by -Rumi
Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.
Quote by -Rumi
Sorrow… It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.
Quote by -Rumi
Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.
Quote by -Rumi
Don’t be sad! Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Don’t forget, the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest clouds.
Quote by -Rumi
Don’t dismiss the heart, even if it’s filled with sorrow. God’s treasures are buried in broken hearts.
Quote by -Rumi
This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.
Quote by -Rumi
As an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, even so shall I endure abuse.
Quote by -Buddha
“A life that is burdened with expectations is a heavy life. Its fruit is sorrow and disappointment.”
Quote by -Douglas Adams
"Sorrow is the rust of the soul and activity will cleanse and brighten it."
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"There is no wisdom in useless and hopeless sorrow, but there is something in it so like virtue, that he who is wholly without it cannot be loved."
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"Sorrow is a kind of rust of the soul, which every new idea contributes in its passage to scour away. It is the putrefaction of stagnant life, and is remedied by exercise and motion."
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"Englishmen rarely cry, except under the pressure of the acutest grief; whereas in some parts of the Continent the men shed tears much more readily and freely."
Quote by -Charles Darwin
"I wish to weep but sorrow is stupid. I wish to believe but belief is a graveyard."
Quote by -Charles Bukowski
"I drive around the streets an inch away from weeping, ashamed of my sentimentality and possible love."
Quote by -Charles Bukowski
"She did not know why she was sad, but because of this peculiar sadness, she began to realize she ought to leave the town."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"I got to wear blinders all the time so I won't think sideways or in the past."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
“The question of desirable grief and pain or the necessity for it must also be faced. [Are] growth and self-fulfillment possible at all without pain and grief and sorrow and turmoil? If grief and pain are sometimes necessary for growth of the person, then we must learn not to protect people from them automatically as if they were always bad. Not allowing people to go through their pain, and protecting them from it, may turn out to be a kind of overprotection, which in turn implies a certain lack of respect for the integrity and the intrinsic nature and the future development of the individual.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and a sword in my hands.
Quote by -Zora Neale Hurston
Excess of grief for the dead is madness; for it is an injury to the living, and the dead know it not.
Quote by -Xenophon
After a while, though the grief did not go away from us, it grew quiet. What had seemed a storm wailing through the entire darkness seemed to come in at last and lie down.
Quote by -Wendell Berry
