Confucius

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.To know the pain of too much tenderness.To be wounded by your own understanding of love;And to bleed willingly and joyfully.To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;To rest at noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;To return home at eventide with gratitude;And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.

Kahlil Gibran

Thou mak'st me merry: I am full of pleasure; let us be jocund

William Shakespeare

The joy you bring us is so much greater than the sadness we feel about your illness.
