Quotations for healing

Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy,
There is healing in the bitter cup. [ Southey ]

There is healing in the bitter cup. [ Southey ]

There is no remedy for time misspent,
No healing for the waste of idleness,
Whose very languor is a punishment,
Heavier than active souls can feel or guess. [ Sir Aubrey de Vere ]

To him who in the love of nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. [ Bryant ]

The healing of the world
Is in its nameless saints. Each separate star
Seems nothing; but a myriad scattered stars
Break up the night, and make it beautiful. [ Bayard Taylor ]

To know the virtues of herbs and their use in healing. [ Virgil ]

Solitude has a healing consoler, friend, companion: it is work. [ Auerbach ]

The cancer of jealousy on the breast can never wholly be cut out, if I am to believe great masters of the healing art. [ Jean Paul ]
