Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty


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

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

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

When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.
Anais Nin

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

    Love the friendship quote. The corollary is also true - we so need friendships to keep our spirits in shape.
