Every natural love will rise again and live forever in this country: but none will rise again until it has been buried.

“When you are not feeling particularly friendly but know you ought to be, the best thing you can do, very often, is to put on a friendly manner and behave as if you were a nicer person than you actually are. And in a few minutes, as we have all noticed, you will be really feeling friendlier than you were.”
“It is wonderful what you can do when you have to.”
“Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
More on Love
“Where there is no love there is no understanding.”
“The greatest thing you'll ever learnIs just to love and be loved in return.”
“When we make a true commitment to walk in love, it usually causes a huge shift in our lifestyle. Many of our ways - our thoughts, our conversation, our habits - have to change.”
More on Grief
“Grief never mended no broken bones.”
“If with love thy heart has burned;If thy love is unreturned;Hide thy grief within thy breast,Though it tear thee unexpressed.”
“On a day of burial there is no perspective--for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was--to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.”
