Quotes About Sorrows

It is true that philosophy is quite aware of the Buddhistic picture of life, of the sorrows and sicknesses which drag him down at times. That is why it makes equanimity a leading item of the inner work upon himself, why it becomes so necessary. But it is also true that moments, moods, and glimpses are also possible when there is uplift, and he can confirm for himself that the human link with the higher power is a very real thing.

I once tried drowning my sorrows, till I found out they could swim.

Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
