Example Sentences
- "“Time heals all sorrows; and that which, perhaps, appears almost unbearable at the beginning of the year, may be looked upon with calm complacency at the end of it. Time will do that for us which nothing else can; and grateful ought we to be that it is so.”"
- "“Time heals all sorrows,” they tell you; but it is a platitude, and not a true one. Sometimes people deceive themselves; they think they have forgotten, and then something brings all back again, and it is worse than before.’"
- "By time, I don’t mean that “time heals all sorrows.” That’s a bad cliché— and nothing could be further from the truth. Time will never heal all sorrows. I know because it hasn’t healed mine, and it certainly hasn’t healed the hearts of the people whose stories I listen to every day."
