Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Khalil Gibran
Some who are too scrupulous to steal your possessions nevertheless see no wrong in tampering with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
The saint and the sinner are twin brothers...one was born but the moment before the other.
Khalil Gibran
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
