Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.
Pour not on the comforts you want, but upon the mercies you have. Look rather at God's ending in afflicting, than to the measure and degree of your affliction.
Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.
I have a particular affliction. I am unable to say a word I can't spell.
A good ad should be like a good sermon: It must not only comfort the afflicted, it also must afflict the comfortable.
For me, comfort is paramount.
Affliction's sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
We should be more anxious that our afflictions should benefit us than that they should be speedily removed from us.
God's way of answering the Christian's prayer for more patience, experience, hope and love often is to put him into the furnace of affliction.
Affliction is the wholesome soil of virtue, where patience, honor, sweet humility, and calm fortitude, take root and strongly flourish.
