Khalil Gibran

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

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don’t, they never were.
