I hope you like these quotes about Consoled from the collection at Life Quotes and Sayings.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
