“I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”
― The Return of the King

“There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
― The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“But you were always a good man of business, Jacob,' faltered Scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself.

― A Christmas Carol

“I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.

“Yes, death. Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow.

― The Canterville Ghost
