Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty



If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Kahlil Gibran



Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Kahlil Gibran

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Kahlil Gibran



Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Kahlil Gibran



If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.
Kahlil Gibran
