Let these funny Bitterly Quotes from my large collection of funny quotes about life add a little humor to your day.
If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it,
I should not mind a bit.
but if a friend of mine had a sorrow
and refused to allow me to share it,
I should feel it most bitterly.
If he shut the doors of the house of mourning against me,

so that I might share in what I was entitled to share.
If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him,
I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation.

lest we be overrun by the weeds of bitterness and regret.

while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.

even away from the attentions of those
with whom they are most bonded.
