"One can endure sorrow alone, but it..." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“Life is a paradox. Every truth has its counterpart which contradicts it; and every philosopher supplies the logic his own undoing.”

“Not only does beauty fade, but it leaves a record upon the face as to what became of it.”

“Be patient with the boys - you are dealing with soul-stuff.”

“Short time seems long in sorrow's sharp sustaining.”

“There is prodigious strength in sorrow and despair.”

“When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”

“I will laugh at the world! Never will I allow myself to become so important, so wise, so dignified, so powerful, that I forget how to laugh at myself and my world.And so long as I can Laugh never will I be poor”

“Thou mak'st me merry: I am full of pleasure; let us be jocund”

“The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.”
