"He who has not looked on Sorrow..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“In the autumn I gathered all my sorrows and buried them in my garden. And when April returned and spring came to wed the earth, there grew in my garden beautiful flowers unlike all other flowers. And my neighbors came to behold them, and they all said to me, "When autumn comes again, at seeding time, will you not give us of the seeds of these flowers that we may have them in our gardens?"”

“Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.”

“Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.”

“The word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”

“My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.”

“The life of this world is nothing but the harmony of opposites”

“And now, dear Mr. Worthing, I will not intrude any longer into a house of sorrow. I would merely beg you not to be too much bowed down by grief. What seem to us bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. This seems to me a blessing of an extremely obvious kind.”

“Youth, even in its sorrows, always has a brilliancy of its own.”

“What showers arise, blown with the windy tempest of my heart”
