About This Quote
This is a quote by John Milton, a British poet and politician. It's part of a prayer called "On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity," that he wrote in 1645. Here, Milton is making a point about how we should treat others who are in the same situation as we are: in pain and sorrow. The idea of breaking someone's heart is something that we typically think of when we think about hurting someone else.
But here, Milton is talking about breaking our own hearts for what breaks theirs. Rather than judging them for their pain, we should be willing to suffer with them and share their sorrow.
