When you have grasped a problem clearly, face it with resolution, for that is the way of the strong.
Khalil GibranPoetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
Khalil GibranCover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle; and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.
Khalil GibranFor in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
