Beauté de ce monde, Ilarie Voronca
Rien n’obscurcira la beauté de ce monde
Les pleurs peuvent inonder toute la vision. La souffrance
Peut enfoncer ses griffes dans ma gorge. Le regret,
L'amertume, peuvent élever leurs murailles de cendre,
La lâcheté, la haine, peuvent étendre leur nuit,
Rien n'obscurcira la beauté de ce monde.Nulle défaite ne m'a été épargnée. J'ai connu
Le goût amer de la séparation. Et l'oubli de l'ami
Et les veilles auprès du mourant. Et le retour
Vide du cimetière. Et le terrible regard de l'épouse
Abandonnée. Et l'âme enténébrée de l'étranger,
Mais rien n'obscurcira la beauté de ce monde.Ah ! On voulait me mettre à l'épreuve, détourner
Mes yeux d'ici-bas. On se demandait : « Résistera-t-il ? »
Ce qui m'était cher m'était arraché. Et des voiles
Sombres, recouvraient les jardins à mon approche
La femme aimée tournait de loin sa face aveugle
Mais rien n'obscurcira la beauté de ce monde.Je savais qu'en dessous il y avait des contours tendres,
La charrue dans le champ comme un soleil levant,
Félicité, rivière glacée, qui au printemps
S'éveille et les voix chantent dans le marbre
En haut des promontoires flotte le pavillon du vent
Rien n'obscurcira la beauté de ce monde.Allons ! Il faut tenir bon. Car on veut nous tromper,
Si l'on se donne au désarroi on est perdu.
Chaque tristesse est là pour couvrir un miracle.
Un rideau que l'on baisse sur le jour éclatant,
Rappelle-toi les douces rencontres, les serments,
Car rien n'obscurcira la beauté de ce monde.Rien n'obscurcira la beauté de ce monde.
Il faudra jeter bas le masque de la douleur,
Et annoncer le temps de l’homme, la bonté,
Et les contrées du rire et de la quiétude.
Joyeux, nous .marcherons vers la dernière épreuve
Le front dans la clarté, libation de l'espoir.
Rien n'obscurcira la beauté de ce monde. -
"There's nothing in this world you're not good enough for."
Can't remember where I heard it but I've been keeping it close to my heart, to remind myself that I am worthy.
Also, I think Max Ehrmann's Desiderata is something that expounds on this statement.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad.

@Pesala said in aphorisms & quotes & statements:
Wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad.
Little does the sage who wrote it know because:
Scald the tomatoes and tangerines. Peel off the skin and cut into small pieces. Peel banana cut into smaller pieces, add wine and blend with a blender. Combine the prepared tomatoes with the tangerine and pour the made sauce. Mix everything thoroughly and season to taste. Before serving, set the finished salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour and sprinkle with the juice of a squeezed lemon.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.~ Rumi

Euripides? In English? Impossible.
Although, there is no consistent contempt in Euripides for the barbarians, which began to take shape among the Greeks in the fifth century BC, he wrote something that is translated into Polish as:
Przez każdy przestwór może lecieć orzeł
I każda ziemia dzielnemu ojczyzną
this, he could not have written anything in English for obvious reasons.I have italicized quotes from „Niewolnictwo”; Iza Bieżuńska-Małowist, Marian Małowist

“Some things are more precious because they don't last long.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray -
“We suddenly feel fearful and apprehensive, naked in our perishable flesh, and for just a moment we wish we could go back to being stone—crumbling in death rather than rotting, trapped inside an immobile prison of stone rather than reduced to immaterial souls like those that now rattled within our skulls. The moment passes. There is no point in regretting irreversible decisions—one has to live with them, and we try.”
~ The Alchemy of Stone / Ekaterina Sedia -
And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, you men of little faith?- Matthew 6:28-30“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds! ... - Luke 12:22-31 -
