Quote by John Donne

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and finding inner fulfillment. It suggests that one should create their own happiness and contentment rather than relying on external factors or circumstances. By being your own palace, you possess the power to shape your own life and experiences. On the other hand, if one relies solely on the world and its influences for happiness, they may feel confined or trapped, as the world is unpredictable and constantly changing. Thus, the quote encourages individuals to cultivate a sense of self-sufficiency and create their own personal sanctuary for true freedom.

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?And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.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.
