Still, it does not wholly die. Like the magic rose, dried and unrecognizable, a warm air breathed on it will suffice to renew its bloom. - Madame Gasparin Grief is the culture of the soul, it is the true fertilizer. - Madame Delphine Gay de Girardin Those who weep recover more quickly than those who smile. - Jean Giraudoux He who is resolute conquers grief. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe The sickness of the heart is most easily got rid of by complaining and soothing confidence. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe There is yet a silent agony in which the mind appears to disdain all external help, and broods over its distresses with gloomy reserve. This is the most dangerous state of mind; accidents or friendships may lessen the louder kinds of grief, but all remedies for this must be had from within, and there despair too often finds the most deadly enemy. - Oliver Goldsmith In all the silent manliness of grief. - Oliver Goldsmith, The Deserted Village (l. 384) Displaying page 2 of 7 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 7
