Consolation Quotes

We are to put it mildly, in a mess, and there is a strong chance that we shall have exterminated ourselves by the end of the century. Our only consolation will be that as a species, we have had an exciting term of office Picture Quote #1

Wherever learning breeds specialists, the sum of human culture is enhanced thereby. That is the illusion and consolation of specialists Picture Quote #1

In the voice of mirth there may be excitement, but in the tones of mourning there is consolation Picture Quote #1

Before we get it we live in a continuous present, and imagine the future as more of that present. Happiness is endless happiness, innocent of its own sure passing. Pain is endless pain Picture Quote #1

I cannot believe this is the end. Nor can I believe that death is more than the blindness of those living. And if this is only the consolation of a heart in its necessity, or that easy faith born of despair, it does not matter, since it gives us courage somehow to face the mornings. Which is as much as the heart can ask at times Picture Quote #1

The world’s religions, for all their parochialism, did supply a kind of consolation for this great ache... This shattering recognition of our mortality is at the root of far more mental illness than I suspect even psychiatrists are aware Picture Quote #1

If there is no solace in the fruits of our research, there is at least some consolation in the research itself. Men and women are not content to comfort themselves with tales of gods and giants, or to confine their thoughts to the daily affairs of life; they also build telescopes and satellites and accelerators and sit at their desks for endless hours working out the meaning of the data they gather Picture Quote #1

I have the consolation of leaving your kingdom in the highest degree of glory and of reputation Picture Quote #1

There’s just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we’ve ever imagined Picture Quote #1

Prayer reveals to souls the vanity of earthly goods and pleasures. It fills them with light, strength and consolation; and gives them a foretaste of the calm bliss of our heavenly home Picture Quote #1

The whole point of art, aside from the aesthetic pleasure it yields, is that it provides a bridge to the past; that seductive land where we all find certainty and consolation. Nothing quite spans this gulf with such immediacy as the art of popular song Picture Quote #1

If the portraits of our absent friends are pleasant to us, which renew our memory of them and relieve our regret for their absence by a false and empty consolation, how much more pleasant are letters which bring us the written characters of the absent friend Picture Quote #1

Soup is cuisine’s kindest course. It breathes reassurance; it steams consolation; after a weary day it promotes sociability, as the five o’clock cup of tea or the cocktail hour Picture Quote #1

There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before Picture Quote #1

It seems people spend the majority of their lives believing they’re dying, with the only consolation being that at one point they get to be right Picture Quote #1

I always try to keep in mind that while the characters in a farce may find themselves in outrageous dilemmas, and may behave in a way that the audience finds amusing, the characters themselves don’t have the consolation of knowing they’re in a comedy Picture Quote #1

Last night I dreamed of a small consolation enjoyed only by the blind: Nobody knows the trouble I’ve not seen! Picture Quote #1

Let is walk... joyously, dear souls, among the difficulties of this passing life... These pains will have an end when our life ends, after which there will be only joy, only contentment, only eternal consolation Picture Quote #1

A hot bath! How exquisite a vespertine pleasure, how luxurious, fervid and flagrant a consolation for the rigours, the austerities, the renunciations of the day Picture Quote #1

When a friend needs consoling, do not give in to the temptation of telling stories similar to theirs of disaster or bereavement. It is something people often do to show empathy but nothing is more tiresome than other people’s problems when you want to focus on your own. Listening is by far the best form of consolation Picture Quote #1

There are so many people who don’t know small towns exist. When I write, I want to give my readers two things: one is a sense of consolation, and two, I want to make them laugh Picture Quote #1

No medicine is more valuable, none more efficacious, none better suited to the cure of our temporal ills than a friend to whom we may turn for consolation in time of trouble, and with whom we may share happiness in time of joy Picture Quote #1

Through the pursuit of beauty we shape the world as a home, and in doing so we both amplify our joys and find consolation for our sorrows Picture Quote #1

The consolation of art comes in many forms... For some it is making, for others it is having Picture Quote #1
