And you would accept the seasons of your heart just as you have always accepted that seasons pass over your fields and you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Khalil GibranGod has bestowed upon you intelligence and knowledge. Do not extinguish the lamp of Divine Grace and do not let the candle of wisdom die out in the darkness of lust and error. For a wise man approaches with his torch to light up the path of mankind.
Khalil GibranLove descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.
Khalil GibranPoetry is not the opinion stated. It is a song that appears instead of a bloody wound or a smiling mouth.
Khalil GibranBut memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.
Khalil GibranAnd let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that your should seek with him hours to kill? Seek with him always hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter, and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Khalil Gibran
