Khalil Gibran
For a love to grow through the test of everyday living, one must respect that zone of privacy where one retires to relate to the inside instead of the outside.
Khalil Gibran
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
Khalil Gibran
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
