Khalil Gibran

Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.

What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?

If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.

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

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

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.

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

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
