Only three things are infinite: the sky in its stars, the sea in its drops of water, and the heart in its tears.

Gustav Flaubert

Regret is an unavoidable result of any loss, for in loss we lose the tomorrow that we needed to make right our yesterday or today.

Gerald Lawson Sittser

The sensation I had experienced vanished like smoke from a snuffed candle, leaving behind wisps of nameless longing.

Julianne Donaldson

Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison.

Philip Stanhope

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.

That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt.

To meet, to know, to love—and then to part, is the sad tale of many a heart.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
