“I had no tears to shed nor a prayer for the deceased... There is no hope for the hopeless.”
“More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.”
“Let's try our best? I hope that someday the many, many tears that were shed will be worth it.”
“Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength.”
“Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agised as in that hour left my lips: for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love.”
“The power of a woman is in the tears she sheds, and the power of a man is wiping those tears while shedding his own.”
