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.

Kahlil Girbran

Say not in grief "He is no more", but live in thankfulness that he was.

Hebrew proverb

Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

Kahlil Gibran

For some moments in life there are no words.
