Khalil Gibran

And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
Khalil Gibran

If any of you would bring judgment the unfaithful wife, let him also weight the heart of her husband in scales, and measure his soul with measurements.

Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
