Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
Khalil GibranAnd all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love; and when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.
Khalil GibranThere are those who give little of the much which they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
