"And you would watch with serenity through the
winters of your grief" ~Khalil Gibran

It is from this poem and it has personal meaning to me


On Pain

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses
your understanding.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its
heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

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;

And you would accept the seasons of your heart,
even as you have always accepted the seasons that
pass over your fields.

And you would watch with serenity through the
winters of your grief.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the physician within
you heals your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy
in silence and tranquillity:

For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by
the tender hand of the Unseen,

And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has
been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has
moistened with His own sacred tears.

How about these...

~The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

~Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

~For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks.

~Seeing, contrary to popular wisdom, isn't believing. It's where belief stops, because it isn't needed any more.

~What our ancestors would really be thinking, if they were alive today, is: "Why is it so dark in here?"

~Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
