More Quotes By Khalil Gibran
The Teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
