Emily Dickinson Quotes

There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.

For every wound, the ointment of time.

Nothing heals like love and time

Things get better--hurt less--over time. If you let them.

Oh time...time, pass so that I forget! Oh time, Great Healer, pass over me and let me forget.

The cure for pain is in the pain.

Time will end all my troubles, but I don't always approve of Time's methods.

Great griefs medicine the less.

Nothing cures like time and love.

One day at a time. You rise, you eat, you bathe, and you talk to the few people you can tolerate while feeling so wretched. Over time, it hurts a little less. Then a little less. And so on...Until one morning, you will awake and realize the pain is only a memory. It will always be with you, but it will eventually lack the power to cripple you.

There is no recollection which time does not put an end to, and no pain which death does not remove.
