Consolation

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love

The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife's spirits

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come

In one of the stars, I shall be living. In one of them, I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night

To die completely, a person must not only forget but be forgotten, and he who is not forgotten is not dead

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings

The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one

Fear not death, for the sooner we die the longer we shall be immortal

Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one

May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead

He spoke well who said that graves are the footprints of angels

May you see God's light on the path ahead when the road you walk is dark. May you always hear, even in your hour of sorrow, the gentle singing of the lark. When times are hard may hardness never turn your heart to stone, may you always remember when the shadows fall— you do not walk alone

Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

Every goodbye is the birth of a memory

The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a life well spent is eternal.

Those we have held in our arms for a short while we hold in our hearts forever
