Khalil Gibran
Image
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wit is often a mask. If you tear it you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran

Work is love made visable.
