Grief

“To be above the stroke of passions is a condition equal to angels; to be in a state of sorrow without the sense of sorrow is a disposition beneath beasts; but duly to regulate our sorrows is the wisdom, duty, and excellency of a Christian.”

“Strong affections make strong afflictions. The higher the tide, the lower the ebb.”

“Griefs are eased by groans, and heart pressures relieved by utterance.”
