Khalil Gibran

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.

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

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.

Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.
