Khalil Gibran

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

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

Your friend is your needs answered.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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.
