Ella Wheeler Wilcox Quotes About Pain

Quotes about: Pain

• I'm sorry for the anguished hearts that break with passion's strain, But I'm sorrier for the poor starved souls that never knew love's pain, Who hunger on through barren years not tasting joys they crave, For sadder far is such a lot than weeping o'er a grave.

  Ella Wheeler Wilcox

  Sad, Pain, Sorry

• Let no one pray that they know not sorrow,
  Let no soul ask to be free from pain,
  For the gall of to-day is the sweet of to-morrow,
  And the moment's loss is the lifetime's gain.
  Through want of a thing does its worth redouble,
  Through hunger's pangs does the feast content,
  And only the heart that has harboured trouble
  Can fully rejoice when joy is sent.
  Let no one shrink from the bitter tonics
  Of grief, and yearning, and need, and strife,
  For the rarest chords in the soul's harmonics
  Are found in the minor strains of life.

• Love gives us copious potions of delight, Of pain and ecstasy, and peace and care; Love leads us upward, to the mountain height, And, like an angel, stands beside us there; Then thrusts us, demon-like, in some abyss: Where, in the darkness of despair, we grope, Till, suddenly, Love greets us with a kiss And guides us back to flowery fields of hope.
