That grief is light which can take counsel. [Lat., Levis est dolor qui capere consilium potest.]

Great grief does not of itself put an end itself. [Lat., Magnus sibi ipse non facit finem dolor.]

Light griefs are communicative, great ones stupefy. [Lat., Curae leves loquuntur, ingentes stupent.]

Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed, and rightly.

The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.
