Kahlil Gibran

• A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
• Be like the flower, turn your face to the sun.
• Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
• Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
• Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
• If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.
• In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
• It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone... but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
• Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
• Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
• Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
• Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
• Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.
• Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
• Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.
• Rest in reason; move in passion.
• Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
• Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.
• The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
• The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
• To belittle, you have to be little.
• To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to do.
• To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
• Trust in dreams, for in them is the hidden gate to eternity.
• We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.
• We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
• Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
• Yesterday is but today's memory, tomorrow is today's dream.
• You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
• You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.
• You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
• Your friend is your needs answered.
