The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?

痛苦过去了，但美丽依旧。

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

有多少个夜晚就有多少个白天，而在一年的进程中，一个夜晚和另一个夜晚一样长。即使是幸福的生活也不能没有黑暗，如果没有悲伤，“幸福”这个词就失去了意义。

There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.

世界上没有幸福，也没有痛苦;只有一种状态与另一种状态的比较，仅此而已。感受过最深悲伤的人，最能体会到最大的幸福。我们必须体验过死亡的滋味，才能体会到生活的乐趣。

There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.

在当前的悲痛中，没有什么痛苦比回忆快乐更伟大。

To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own.

为别人的富裕而高兴，就是满足于自己的命运;减轻别人的悲伤就是减轻或驱散自己的悲伤。

To touch a sore is to renew one's grief.

触摸痛处就是重新悲伤。

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

早在我们经历欢乐和悲伤之前，我们就已经选择了它们。
