The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
Khalil GibranLove is not without its flaws. The stronger the love, the more it tests you. Compassion and empathy will make true love persist.
Khalil GibranOf life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.
Khalil GibranYour children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil Gibran
