Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
Image
My brothers, seek counsel of one another, for therein lies the way out of error and futile repentance. The wisdom of the many is your shield against tyranny. For when we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
Khalil Gibran

For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Seven times have I despised my soul: The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks.
Khalil Gibran
Image
History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.

Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
