"Grief can’t be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way." ― Anne Morrow Lindbergh Topic(s): Sympathy More From Anne Morrow Lindbergh "For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair." "Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn’t seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces." "I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable." More In Sympathy "The novelist must look on humanity without partiality or prejudice. His sympathy, like that of the historian, must be unbounded, and untainted by sect or party."― Goldwin Smith "Since this war began our sympathy has gone out to all the suffering people who have been dragged into it. Further hundreds of millions have become involved since I spoke at Limerick fortnight ago."― Eamon de Valera "I have the greatest sympathy with the growth of the socialist party. I think they understand the evils that surround us and hammer them into people’s minds better than we Liberals."― Charles Trevelyan
