Quote

In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say.

Sorrow lies like a heartbeat behind everything I have written.

Godly sorrow is a gift of the Spirit. It is a deep realization that our actions have offended our Father and our God. It is the sharp and keen awareness that our behavior caused the Savior, He who knew no sin, even the greatest of all, to endure agony and suffering.

Our own sorrows seem heavy enough, even when lifted by certain long-term joys. But watching others hurt is the breaker of most any heart.

I was early taught by sorrow to shed tears, and now when sudden joy lights up, or any unexpected sorrow strikes my heart, I find it difficult to repress the full and swelling tide of feeling.

Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.

Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.

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.

When grief is deepest, words are fewest.
