~~ I am not the author of the following written material, and I lay no claim to be the author. ~~
2. Abruptness is an eloquence in parting, when spinning out the time is but the weaving of new sorrow.
3. Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.
4. Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it; the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear.
5. Absence from those we love is self from self -a deadly banishment.
6. Absence in love is like water upon fire; a little quickens, but much extinguishes it.
7. Absence is the death of love.
8. All flowers will droop in absences of the sun that waked their sweets.
9. All the souls created by the activity of God were originally one, the male and female portions of them not yet separated, existing in conjugal bliss. When they first begin their journey to the Below on this earth they do so as male and female together. Once arrived, they become separated... A man may only find his other half by walking in the way of truth. Only then may he have a chance at completion.
10. Although you may remain somewhere for a long time, It is certain that you will have to leave; Whatever may be the manner of parting, The actual going cannot be avoided.
11. But fate ordains that dearest friends must part.
12. But when he (man) shall have been taken from sight, he quickly goes also out of mind.
13. Days of absence, sad and dreary, Clothed in sorrow's dark array, Days of absence, I am weary; She I love is far away.
14. Distance - the only thing the rich are willing for the poor to call theirs, and keep.
15. Distance sometimes endears friendship, and absence sweeteneth it - for separation from those we love shows us, by the loss, their real value and dearness to us.
16. Ever absent, ever near; Still I see thee, still I hear; Yet I cannot reach thee, dear!
17. Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven.
18. Fare thee well! and if for ever, Still for ever, fare thee well.
19. For in that word, that fatal word, however we promise, hope, believe, there breathes despair.
20. Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions.
21. Great undertakings cannot succeed during periods of division and mutual alienation. The superior man recognizes the circumstances, does not become impatient, and sets about achieving gradual improvements in small matters.
22. Greater things are believed of those who are absent.
23. Here we part. The solitary sail will attempt a flight of a thousand miles, The flowing clouds are the dreams of a wandering son, The setting sun, the affection of an old friend. So you go, waving your hands.
24. How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen! What old December's bareness everywhere.
25. In every parting there is an image of death.
26. In farewells we heat above ordinary our affections to the things we fore go.
27. Let no one be willing to speak ill of the absent.
28. Let the wind of the spirit blow between your shores. The great oaks in the forest do not grow in each other's shade.
29. Let us not be dainty of leave-taking, But shift away.
30. Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in life.
31. No suffering, no sorrow, no pain will befall the man who has controlled his anger, who has abandoned his pride, who is not attached to anything and who calls nothing his own.
32. Not until a person detaches himself from the creation will he be joined with the Creator.
33. Oh hast thou forgotten this day we must part? It may be for years and it may be forever; Oh why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart?
34. Parting is such sweet sorrow.
35. Parting is worse than death; it is death of love!
36. She went her unremembering way, She went and left in me The pang of all the partings gone, And partings yet to be.
37. Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated.
38. That bitter word, which closed all earthly friendships, and finished every feast of love - Farewell!
39. The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
40. The logs of wood which move down the river together Are driven apart by every wave. Such inevitable parting Should not be the cause of misery.
41. The superior man, when he stands alone, is unconcerned, And if he has to renounce the world, he is undaunted.
42. What! gone without a word? ay, so true love should do; it cannot speak, for truth hath better deeds, than words, to grace it.
43. When we two parted in silence and tears, Half broken-hearted to sever for years, Pale grew thy cheek and cold, Colder thy kiss; Truly that hour foretold sorrow to this!
