Consolation, for the condemned, is to be one of many.
Do not desire chiefly to be cherished and consoled by God; desire above all to love Him. Do not anxiously desire to have others find consolation in God, but rather help them to love God. Do not seek consolation in talking about God, but speak of Him ...
In the garden of time grows the flower of consolation.
Leaders console the world with their speeches, heroes console the world with their actions.
Great consolation may grow out of the smallest saying.
I'm interested in existential films: I love movies that console you in the same way that a person consoles a weeping child.

So dry your tears. Fortune has not yet turned her hatred against all your blessings. The storm has not yet broken upon you with too much violence. Your anchors are holding firm and they permit you both comfort in the present, and hope in the future.
So it follows that those who have reason have freedom to will or not to will, although this freedom is not equal in all of them. [...] human souls are more free when they persevere in the contemplation of the mind of God, less free when they descend ...
