We look before and after, And pine for what is not Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley ~

Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

The thirst for adventure is the vent which Destiny offers a war, a crusade, a gold mine, a new country, speak to the imagination and offer swing and play to the confined powers.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
-
The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing -- where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he was meant and made to do.
~ Phillips Brooks ~
The god of the cannibals will be a cannibal, of the crusaders a crusader, and of the merchants a merchant.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
-
Surely your gladness need not be the less for the thought that you will one day see a brighter dawn than this - when lovelier sights will meet your eyes than any waving trees or rippling waters - when angel-hands shall undraw your curtains, and sweeter tones than ever loving Mother breathed shall wake you to a new and glorious day - and when all the sadness, and the sin, that darkened life on this little earth, shall be forgotten like the dreams of a night that is past!
~ Lewis Carroll ~
Our sweetest songs are those that tell the saddest thoughts.

It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.
~ Oscar Wilde ~
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all... Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better... And yet this is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again.
~ Abraham Lincoln ~
I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the Stern Fact, the Sad Self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
I had rather have a fool make me merry, than experience make me sad.
~ William Shakespeare ~
Heaven always bears some proportion to earth. The god of the cannibal will be a cannibal, of the crusades a crusader, and of the merchants a merchant.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Don't be sad for we will surely live again. We will live again as memories in the hearts of men.
~ Lil Destar ~
Sad to say, for too many, the best thing about life, is that, sooner or later, it ends.
~ Wilhelmina Marie ~
