Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of
people who tried to find it.
~ Dr. E.L. Kersten

It's always darkest before it goes pitchblack
~ Connie Winkler

I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always
half empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth.
~Janeane Garofalo, 1964-

One day I sat thinking, almost in despair; a hand fell on my shoulder
and a voice said reassuringly; 'Cheer up, things could be worse' So I
cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. James Hagerty

If you're not lighting any candles, don't complain about the dark.
--Unknown

The lessons of history? There are four: The bee fertilizes the flower it robs;
whom the gods would destroy they first make mad with power; the mills of God
grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small; when it is dark enough, you can
see the stars.
-- Charles A. Beard

And just as painful, I'm sure, but it also feels soooooo good when it's over.

Pain and pleasure, like light and darkness, succeed each other.
--Laurence Sterne

Shared pain is lessened; shared joy is increased; thus do we refute entropy.
