Mentally fit forever eliminate fear with world renowned Dr. Pulos
When sorrow strikes, life seems like the Old Hag who is out to ruin a good day. As Jim Rohn said, "The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy." Let us not dwell on our sadness. If life gives us a lemon, we know what to do with it, right? Here are some sad life quotes that help you get out of your moody blues.
Carl Gustav Jung
The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Proverb
If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours.
John Sutherland Bonnell
So much sadness exists in the world that we are all under obligation to contribute as much joy as lies within our powers.
Sidney Madwed
You can choose to be happy or sad and whichever you choose that is what you get. No one is really responsible to make someone else happy, no matter what most people have been taught and accept as true.
Henry Wordsworth Longfellow
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.
Louis E. Boone
Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
Malcolm X
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
Jim Rohn
How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness.
William Osler
Courage and cheerfulness will not only carry you over the rough places in life, but will enable you to bring comfort and help to the weak-hearted and will console you in the sad hours.
Mark Twain
It is a time when one's spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death.
Winston Churchill
When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.
Christina Georgina Rossetti
Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.
David Weatherford
We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness.
R. W. Dale
We ask God to forgive us for our evil thoughts and evil temper, but rarely, if ever ask Him to forgive us for our sadness.
Sidney Madwed
You can choose to be happy or sad and whichever you choose that is what you get. No one is really responsible to make someone else happy, no matter what most people have been taught and accept as true.
Helen Keller
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
Jim Rohn
The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy.
Marcus Aurelius
Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.
Cynthia Nelms
Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy.
Carl Jung
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Thomas Fuller
An ounce of cheerfulness is worth a pound of sadness to serve God with.
Dante
There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy.
Jean de La Fontaine
Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
Charlie Brown
In the book of life, the answers aren’t in the back.
Born in 1906, in Coyoacan, Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter, who is most well known for the self portraiture work which she created during her career. The intense vibrant colors, the "pain and passion," and the intensity, were some of the key features which marked the works which she created. In Mexico, her work has been celebrated for the emblematic, as well as the indigenous tradition; it has also been celebrated by feminists, due to the fact that she painted the female form, which was something that was not common during the period she lived.
The work which Frida Kahlo created, has been coined as being traditional of the figures in Mexican culture, and has also been labeled as surrealist work. This was mainly because of the fact that her art work took a traditional image (of the female form), yet she conformed it to distort the traditional style of portraiture work. She would create features on the face which were larger than proportionate sizes, she would use distinct colors to capture emotion, and she would use descriptive, thick brush strokes, all of which stepped outside of the norm, with self portraiture work.
Frida Kahlo suffered from many illnesses in her childhood years. A traffic accident she was involved in during her teenage years, also served as a base for many of her health problems, and these ailments were described through the work she created. As the youngest of four children, she was a survivor of polio, and did not intend on becoming an artist until an older age. At the age of 18, she was involved in the car accident, and had to spend one year in a hospital bed, recovering from the injuries to her pelvis, collar bone, shoulder, and foot injuries. Over her lifetime, she underwent over 30 surgeries, and to help distract her from the pain and suffering, she turned to painting.
In the paintings and self portraiture work which Frida Kahlo created, she incorporated a deliberate naivety in the art forms, and she also drew on Mexican folk art, to create the distinct form and artistic style she was known for. At the age of 22, she married Diego Rivera, who was a famous Mexican muralist, and 20 years her senior. This was a marriage that was full of turmoil, infidelity, struggles in their career paths, and a number of additional hurdles the couple overcame while married. She claims to have suffered two major accidents in her life; the car accident which injured her physically, and the marriage which injured her emotionally.
During her career, Frida Kahlo composed more than 200 pieces of art; this included paintings, sketches, and drawings, all of which were related to her personal life, and the physical and emotional turbulence which she experienced. Out of the 143 paintings which she created, a total of 55 of these were self portraits. And, when people in the art world asked why she painted so many self portraits, her response was that she was often alone, and was the subject which she knew best.
In 1953, Frida Kahlo had her first solo exhibit which presented her art work to many visitors. One observer noted that it was impossible to distinguish her personal life from her work, and that her art served as a biography of her life. Due to poor health at the time, Frida's doctor told her she would not be able to attend, due to the fact that he wanted her to remain under bed rest. But, she insisted on being at the opening, and was transported in her bed by ambulance, and was carried in to the exhibit, to meet the greeting public who was present.
Both Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego were active members in the Mexican Communist party; in 1954 she attended her last rally, and soon after, on July 17 of the same year, passed away at the age of 47. The day following her death, mourners of the famous artist's work gathered at the crematorium, to witness her cremation. Her ashes were eventually placed at the "Blue House" which she shared with her husband. One year following her death, Diego Rivera gave the home to the Mexican government, to serve as a museum where visitors and her fans could pay tribute to the work she created, and to her short lived life.
After her death, the popularity of the portraiture work she had created during her career, became extremely desirable pieces of art for collectors. Today, over a half century after her death, the art work which she created, brings in a higher value than any other female artist has ever earned. And, many of the works which she created, have been replicated in print, to sell to collectors, and to be displayed in museums and art exhibits.
Her home, which was passed over to the Mexican government, is now known as the Museo Frida Kahlo (the museum of Frida Kahlo). Visitors can see all of her personal effects which are left behind in the home, and the urn which carries her ashes are also on display in the home. Many of the pieces that are still in the home, seem to have been left the way they were when the couple lived in the home, and visitors describe it as being with her, and feeling her presence, when visiting the museum.
Although Frida had a very short, and troubling life, she was able to capture a magnificent audience, with the art work which she created during the course of this short life. Described as her biography in art form, the self portraiture work created by her, showcases a troubled woman, and the difficult life she lived. And, today, she is still known as one of the most famous female artists in history, and sells more pieces (for more money), than any other female artist throughout history.
"The most important thing is to enjoy life - to be happy - that's all that matters." (5)
Quotes from Audrey Hepburn on her humanitarian role
"I saw but one glaring truth: These are not natural disasters but man-made tragedies for which there is only one manmade solution-peace." (1)
“The 'Third World' is a term I don't like very much, because we're all one world. I want people to know that the largest part of humanity is suffering." (1)
"I can testify to what UNICEF means to children, because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II," said actress Audrey Hepburn on her appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador in 1989. "I have a long-lasting gratitude and trust for what UNICEF does." As a result of her work for UNICEF over subsequent years, that gratitude is mutual."(2)
"I auditioned for this job for forty-five years and I finally got it. I always felt very powerless when I would see the terrible pictures on TV. But I was offered a wonderful opportunity to do something [and it] is a marvelous therapy to the anguish I feel." (3)
"It makes me self-conscious. It's because I'm known, in the limelight, that it's getting all the gravy, but if you knew, if you saw some of the people who make it possible for UNICEF to help these children survive. These are the people who do the jobs-the unknowns, whose names you will never know…I at least get a dollar a year, but they don't." (4)
"Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicisation of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanisation of politics."
"People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognise the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening. In the Sudan, for example, they call a water pump UNICEF."
Audrey Hepburn Quotes on Life
"I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it."(5)
I'm not a born actress, as such, I care about expressing feelings." (5)
"I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it." (5)
"People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and and say 'I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference.'" (5)
"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person." (5)
"Whatever a man might do, whatever misery or heartache your children might give you - and they give you a lot - however much your parents irritate you - it doesn't matter because you love them." (5)
"I was born with something that appealed to an audience at that particular time...I acted instinctively. I've had one of the greatest schools of all - a whole row of great, great directors." (5)
"How shall I sum up my life? I think I've been particularly lucky. Does that have something to do with faith also? I know my mother always used to say, 'Good things aren't supposed to just fall in your lap. God is very generous, but he expects you to do your part first.' So you have to make that effort. But at the end of a bad time or a huge effort, I've always had - how shall I say it? - the prize at the end. My whole life shows that." (5)
"Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it all in at once." (5)
"I'm not beautiful. My mother once called me an ugly duckling. But, listed separately, I have a few good features. (5)
"[I have] enormous faith, but it's not attached to any one in particular religion.... My mother was one thing, my father another. In Holland they were all Calvinists. That has no importance at all to me." (5)
"I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true."
