“Every joy brings the sorrow of its absence in its wake.”

“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.”

“And therefore to-day is thrilling
With a past day's late fulfilling;
And the multitudes are enlisted
In the faith that their fathers resisted,
And, scorning the dream of to-morrow,
Are bringing to pass, as they may,
In the world, for its joy or its sorrow,
The dream that was scorned yesterday.”

“I needed to know that there was such a thing as love and that it brought smiles and joy in its wake.”

“There is no sorrow like a love denied
Nor any joy like love that has its will.”

“Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world, but the heart has its beaches, its homeland, and thoughts of its own. Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings, but the heart has its seasons its evenings, and songs of its own”

“Wherever literature consoles sorrow or assuages pain; wherever it brings gladness to eyes which fail with wakefulness and tears, and ache for the dark house and the long sleep,—there is exhibited in its noblest form the immortal influence of Athens.”

“Even if loving meant leaving, or solitude, or sorrow, love was worth every penny of its price.”

“It is not opium which makes me work but its absence, and in order for me to feel its absence it must from time to time be present.”

“Always expecting this and expecting that. May I recommend serenity to you? A life that is burdened with expectations is a heavy life. Its fruit is sorrow and disappointment. Learn to be one with the joy of the moment.”
