Quote by Lillie Langtry

Sympathy is charming, but it does not make up for pain.

Sympathy is charming, but it does not make up for pain.

Summary

This quote suggests that while receiving sympathy from others may be nice and appealing, it ultimately does not alleviate or compensate for the suffering one may be experiencing. Sympathy may provide temporary comfort or emotional support, but it does not eradicate the underlying pain or the need for proper healing or resolution. In other words, while sympathy can be appreciated, it is not a sufficient replacement for effectively addressing and overcoming pain and hardship.

The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
