Quote by Kahlil Gibran

The appearance of things changes according to the emotions; and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.

The appearance of things changes according to the emotions;

Summary

This quote suggests that our emotions and perspective greatly influence how we perceive things in the world. It posits that the magic and beauty we observe in the external world are not inherent qualities of the objects themselves, but rather reflections of our own emotions and interpretations. In other words, our perception of magic and beauty originates from within us, and it is our subjective experience that imbues the exterior world with these qualities.

The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happine

The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themseleves and others, in experiments. Their joy is self-conquest. Difficult tasks are a priviledge to them; to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation. They are the most venerable kind of man: that does not preclude their being the most cheerful and the kindliest.
