Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.Kahlil Gibran
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.Kahlil Gibran
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.Kahlil Gibran
