If you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things.
We are governed by sympathy; and the extent of our sympathy is determined by that of our sensibility
The reminder that there are people who have worse troubles than you is not an effective pain-killer.
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
