If I accept the sunshine and warmth, then I must also accept the thunder and lightning.
Khalil GibranHe who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.
Khalil GibranAnd when you were a silent word upon Life's quivering lips, I too was there, another silent word. Then life uttered us and we came down the years throbbing with memories of yesterday and with longing for tomorrow, for yesterday was death conquered and tomorrow was birth pursued.
Khalil Gibran
