I'm a big believer in the idea that while we are the sum of our tears, we are also the product of our choices in how we deal with those tears.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Tears are the natural penalties of pleasure. It is a law that we should pay for all that we enjoy.
Crying is cleansing. There's a reason for tears, happiness or sadness.
My tolerance for tears is very little when you're beautiful and crying over nothing.
Tears are nature's lotion for the eyes. The eyes see better for being washed by them.
Certainly tears are given to us to use. Like all good gifts, they should be used properly.
When we can't bottle our tears up anymore, God catches every one in His bottle. God's catching every falling tear because He won't let us fall apart.
Some indeed have tears naturally, when the higher motion of the soul makes itself felt in the lower, or because God our Lord, seeing that it would be good for them, allows them to melt into tears. But this does not mean that they have greater charity or that they are more effective than others who enjoy no tears.
Sympathizing and selfish people are alike, both given to tears.
The Trail of Tears should teach all of us the importance of respect for others who are different from ourselves and compassion for those who have difficulties.
It is only to the happy that tears are a luxury.
