Famous quotes containing the word tears:

    Thy due from me
    Is tears and heavy sorrows of the blood,
    Which nature, love, and filial tenderness
    Shall, O dear father, pay thee plenteously.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.
    Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)

    I did not know that thou wert dead before;
    I did not feel the grief I did sustain;
    The greater stroke astonisheth the more;
    Astonishment takes from us sense of pain.
    I stood amazed when other’s tears begun,
    And now begin to weep when they have done.
    Henry Constable (1562–1613)
