The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Khalil Gibran

Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Darkness is dawn not yet born.
Khalil Gibran
Image
History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.
Khalil Gibran

Birth and Death are the two noblest expressions of bravery.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.
Khalil Gibran
