Tears
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.
Sympathizing and selfish people are alike, both given to tears.
Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.
Tears are the silent language of grief.
Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
You wind up creating from silence, like painting a picture on a blank canvas that could bring tears to somebody's eyes. As songwriters, our blank canvas is silence. Then we write a song from an idea that can change somebody's life. Songwriting is the closest thing to magic that we could ever experience. That's why I love songwriting.

Tears are the summer showers to the soul.
I used to cheerlead in high school, and I had the biggest crush on one of my teammates' brothers. I was a great tumbler, so when he showed up at practice one day, I tried to impress him, but I ended up landing on my face! When I got off the ground, I had rug burn on my nose. I was in tears because it hurt so bad!
Life is full of happiness and tears; be strong and have faith.
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain.
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Crying is cleansing. There's a reason for tears, happiness or sadness.
Smiles, tears, of all my life! — and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
