Christmas makes everything twice as sad.

I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day.

Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious.

It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.

Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.
