I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
It is slavery to live in the mind unless it has become part of the body.
Strange, the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain.
Paradise is there, behind that door, in the next room; but I have lost the key.
Perhaps I have only mislaid it.
The envious praises me unknowingly.
The highest virtue here may be the least in another world.
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Trust in dreams, for in them is the hidden gate to eternity.
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of
Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
I said to Life, I would hear Death speak. And Life raised her
voice a little higher and said, You hear him now.
For what is it to die, But to stand in the sun and melt into the wind?
And when the Earth has claimed our limbs, Then we shall truly dance.
Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking
Khalil Gibran
