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

I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.

If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.
Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Kahlil Gibran

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
