Let these funny Consoled Quotes from my large collection of funny quotes about life add a little humor to your day.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
