He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked. The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.
Khalil GibranMen who do not forgive women their little faults will never enjoy their great virtues.
Khalil GibranMy friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The "I" in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.
Khalil GibranSome who are too scrupulous to steal your possessions nevertheless see no wrong in tampering with your thoughts.
Khalil GibranYouth is a beautiful dream, on whose brightness books shed a blinding dust. Will ever the day come when the wise link the joy of knowledge to youth's dream? Will ever the day come when Nature becomes the teacher of man, humanity his book and life his school? Youth's joyous purpose cannot be fulfilled until that day comes. Too slow is our march toward spiritual elevation, because we make so little use of youth's ardor.
