Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind.
Kahlil Gibran

 

When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Kahlil Gibran

 

Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
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

    I love Kahlil! The first about the blind world has always hit a chord with me. Oops! I see the others feel the same way.

    I remember my dad buying me "The Prophet" when I was younger. I think I still have the copy somewhere around here.

    I love the wisdom of Kahlil. Unfortunately, as others have commented, the world loves an eye for an eye and generally can't see the forest for the trees, to throw in another adage.
    Great photos to go with the words.
