I was browsing through some poetry/quotes as I do almost every day because I've found there is always something by Gibran or Tagore that I can learn from. Usually I settle on one to share for the evening, but today these four grabbed me for whatever reason, so I decided to share all of them this evening.
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
Kahlil Gibran
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Kahlil Gibran
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.
Kahlil Gibran
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.
Kahlil Gibran

Hi Sylvia,

Great quotes! Thanks for sharing these.
Sylvia, I especially like your volcano and flowers quote. I haven't heard that one before, but I can truly see the truth within it.
Great quotes! And I strongly believe in the first one.
OK, another print out. The power of words hey? These are great. Thank you Sylvia!
I like the last one especially.
I think I have to live a 100 more years before I realize the wisdom in that last quote.
These are wonderful quotes, Sylvia! Thank you for finding and then sharing them.
Gibran is my favourite. An amazing insight.
Love this post, Sylvia! Thank you for reminding of the wisdom of Gibran.
Wonderful! I liked the volcano one best until I read the last and its greatness that bows before children.
Absolutely.
