How to use consolation in a sentence?
When( they) offered me the' consolation prize,' I felt a bit insulted.
Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire:
The great consolation in life is to say what one thinks.
Quiet and sincere sympathy is often the most welcome and efficient consolation to the afflicted. Said a wise man to one in deep sorrow, "I did not come to comfort you; God only can do that; but I did come to say how deeply and tenderly I feel for you in your affliction".
Because whenever we look to President Barack Obamas White House for some leadership or consolation or any semblance of steadiness, what we get instead is chaos, division, and a total and utter lack of empathy, empathy : thats something Ive been thinking a lot about lately. The ability to walk in someone elses shoes ; the recognition that someone elses experience has value, too. Most of us practice this without a second thought. If we see someone suffering or struggling, we dont stand in judgment.
These people are great, they get it. … Being here, it’s not like being over there, but it’s a good consolation prize. You can’t get much better than this.
