... of Kahlil Gibran
I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon the dewdrop.
Where can I find a man governed by reason instead of habits and urges?
As one's gifts increases, his friends decrease.
I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realised, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a labourer's hand.
People speak of plague with fear and tremor, yet of destroyers like Alexander and Napoleon they speak of with ecstatic reverence.
Thrift is being generous, to all except the misers.
I saw them eating and I knew who they were.
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
How hard is the life of him who asks for love and receives passion!
To be closer to God, be closer to his people.
Marriage is either life or death; there is no betwixt or between.
