Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of my soul there is A wordless song - a song that lives In the seed of my heart. It refuses to melt with ink on Parchment it engulfs my affection In a transparent cloak and flows, But not upon my lips.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.
Khalil Gibran
Image
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Saying this, he turned his head toward the window as if he were trying to solve the problems of human existence by concentrating on the beauty of the universe.
Khalil Gibran

I learnt silence from the talkative

Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil Gibran

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