“Sorrow fully accepted brings its own gifts. For there is alchemy in sorrow. It can be transmitted into wisdom, which, if it does not bring joy, can yet bring happiness.”

“Night brings out stars as sorrow shows us truths.”

“Age does not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles.”

“And therefore to-day is thrilling
With a past day's late fulfilling;
And the multitudes are enlisted
In the faith that their fathers resisted,
And, scorning the dream of to-morrow,
Are bringing to pass, as they may,
In the world, for its joy or its sorrow,
The dream that was scorned yesterday.”

“At the core, people are creators. They can conceptualize of what does not yet exist. And they can bring it into a physical manifestation.”

“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.”

“You will see that the things you desire most are the very things that bring you the greatest sorrow.”

“Now the longed-for signal has appeared. Yet when happiness comes
it brings less joy than one expected.”

“Riches can all be lost, but that happiness in your own heart can only be veiled, and it will bring you happiness again, as long as you live.”

“The creation itself is full of griefs. How can one understand joy if there is no sorrow? And how can everyone be happy at the same time?”
