And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
Khalil GibranThe first glance from the eyes of the beloved is like the spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, giving birth to heaven and earth.
Khalil GibranThere are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space. Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes he smiles upon the earth.
Khalil GibranKeep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
