The soul's tears are worth more than the heart's smiles.

Tears of joy are better than smiles of sorrow.

A wise man's sorrow is better than a fool's happiness.

Life is a sea of sorrow in the midst of islands of happiness.

Your deepest scars tell the world of your greatest triumphs.

Love's whispers drown out sorrow's echoes.

If you are going through hell, keep walking until you reach heaven.

The heart smiles when the soul shines.

Watering a dead flower will not bring it back to life.
