    For a man learns more quickly and remembers more easily that
    which he laughs at, than that which he approves and reveres.
    [Lat., Discit enim citius, meminitque libentius ilud
    Quod quis deridet, quam quod probat et veneratur.]

I have known sorrow--therefore I
May laugh with you, O friend, more merrily
Than those who never read more

I have known sorrow--therefore I
May laugh with you, O friend, more merrily
Than those who never sorrowed upon earth
And know not laughter's worth.
I have known laughter--therefore I
May sorrow with you far more tenderly
Than those who never guess how sad a thing
Seems merriment to one heart's suffering.
