Oh, I am very weary, Though tears no longer flow; My eyes are tired of weeping, My heart is sick of woe.
Anne Bronte, British Novelist (1820-1849)

Du Fu, Chinese Poet
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Khalil Gibran, Poet (1883-1931)
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

There should be weeping at a man's birth, not at his death.

I did a book signing when we were in New York the day before yesterday. A lady came through and she was just weeping, and said, 'I wish this would have been brought out sooner, my sister is in prison for suffocating her child.'
Marie Osmond, American Musician (1959- )
If it were possible to cure evils by lamentation and to raise the dead with tears, then gold would be a less valuable thing than weeping.
Sophocles, Greek Poet
The weeping of an heir is laughter in disguise.
Publilius Syrus, Roman Writer
Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
