"There is nothing like employment, active indispensable employment, for relieving sorrow." — Jane Austen

The busy bee has no time for sorrow

He that conceals his grief finds no remedy for it

Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow

There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery

Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps

At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction
