Sympathy constitutes friendship but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.

Staying married may have long-term benefits. You can elicit much more sympathy from friends over a bad marriage than you ever can from a good divorce.

And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.

Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.

Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy sweat will get you change.
