“There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.”

“And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue;”

“He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy”

“And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.”

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

“Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. 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.”

“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.”
