Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children. / They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. - Kahlil Gibran

All you have shall some day be given; therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors. - Kahlil Gibran

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. - Kahlil Gibran

Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.  - Kahlil Gibran

I love you my brother whoever you are, whether you worship in your church, kneel in your temple, or pray in your mosq ue. You and I are all children of one faith, for the diverse paths of religion are fingers of the loving hand of one Supreme Being, a hand extended to all, offering completeness of spirit to all, eager to receive all. - Kahlil Gibran

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. (Lebanese Poet and Novelist, Author of "The Prophet" - 1883-1931)  - Kahlil Gibran

The wind speaks not more sweetly to the giant oaks than to the least of all blades of grass; And he alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own living. - Kahlil Gibran

You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving." The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pastures. They give thay they may live, for to withhold is to perish. Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights, is worthy of all else from you.  - Kahlil Gibran

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. - Kahlil Gibran

And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course. - Kahlil Gibran

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.  - Kahlil Gibran
