The cure for grief is motion.
Elbert Hubbard
I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless; That only men incredulous of despair, half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air beat upward to god's throne in loud access of shrieking and reproach
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
One often calms one's grief by recounting it.
Pierre Corneille
Excess of grief for the dead is madness; for it is an injury to the living, and the dead know it not
Xenophon
What's gone and what's past help should be past grief
William Shakespeare
Grief and sadness knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger than common joys
Alphonse de Lamartine
I measure every grief I meet with narrow, probing eyes - I wonder if it weighs like mine - or has an easier size.
Emily Dickinson
No greater grief than to remember days of gladness when sorrow is at hand
Friedrich von Schiller
Each substance of a grief hath twenty shadows
William Shakespeare
Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates
Samuel Johnson
Given a choice between grief and nothing, I'd choose grief.
William Faulkner
While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.
Samuel Johnson
Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.
Ovid
Every one can master a grief but he that has it
William Shakespeare
If you suppress grief too much it can well redouble
Moliere
