There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery. Yet those memories can also give us hope.
Dante Alighieri
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keep out the joy. Healing begins when we allow ourselves to be open again.
Jim Rohn
In this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.
Henry Ward Beecher
I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes; but look where I will, there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.
Jerome K. Jerome
Isn’t it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be part of it?
Richard Dawkins
Every human walks around with a certain kind of sadness. They may not wear it on their sleeves, but it is always there.
Taraji P. Henson
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls. Life’s hardest moments often shape the greatest strength within us.
Khalil Gibran
Football is now all about money. There are problems with the values within the game. This is sad because football is the most beautiful game. We can play it in the street. We can play it everywhere.
Johan Cruyff
The word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. Even difficult moments help us appreciate life’s greatest joys.
Carl Jung
The Indian Summer of life should be a little sunny and a little sad, like the season, and infinite in wealth and depth of tone, but never hustled.
Henry Adams
