"Sing away sorrow, cast away care."	Miguel de Cervantes
"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on Earth."	Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky
"If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom, but nobody beats me.'"	Leo Durocher
"I believe a man is born first unto himself-for the happy developing of himself, while the world is a nursery, and the pretty things are to be snatched for, and pleasant things tasted; some people seem to exist thus right to the end. But most are born again on entering manhood; then they are born to humanity, to a consciousness of all the laughing, and the never-ceasing murmur of pain and sorrow that comes from the terrible multitudes of brothers."	D(avid) H(erbert) Lawrence
"The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little."	Max Lerner
"You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by people who have been able to accomodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others, will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself-educating your own judgement. Those that stay must remember, always and all the time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this society."	Doris Lessing
"I am bigger than anything that can happen to me. All these things, sorrow, misforturne, and suffering, are outside my door. I am in the house, and I have the key."	Charles Fletcher Lummis
"How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear: It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds, And drives away his fears."	John Newton
"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."	Kahlil Gibran
"The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain."	Richard Milhouse Nixon
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm any hostility."	Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake."	Victor Hugo
"I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy, golden storm, yes many loved before us, I know we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but now it's come to distances and both of us must try, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye."	Leonard
"We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them."	Kahlil Gibran

"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed."	Albert Einstein
