Joy and Sorrow

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy.”
― Kahlil Gibran

“You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

“We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.”
― Kahlil Gibran
