We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.
We have arrived at that point of time in which we are forced to see our own humiliation, as a nation, and that a progression in this line cannot be a productive of happiness, private or public.
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.
Poverty should not be viewed by us as a humiliation and even less so as a position of honour or a fatality.
I have not personally suffered from the deprivations, the bitterness and sorrow which bring so many men and women to a realisation of social injustice.
If you see oppression of the poor, and justice and righteousness trampled in a country, do not be astounded.
We as people often subscribe to hope to feel better about our lives, to escape the harsh and sometimes cruel injustices of the world.
If we have anything kind to say, any tender sentiment to express, we feel a sense of shame.
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.
