Quotation: Robert Nathan on looking for silver linings

LOOK FOR SILVER LININGS

     Give thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity; for pain that teaches you courage -- and give exceeding thanks for the mystery which remains a mystery still -- the veil that hides you from the infinite, which makes it possible for you to believe in what you cannot see.
     ROBERT NATHAN (1894-1985)
     American novelist and poet
     Quoted in The Book of Positive Quotations (1993)
     Compiled and Arranged by John Cook
