Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
-Khalil GibranKeep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
-Khalil GibranIf you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
-Khalil GibranDedicated to all frens:
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
-Khalil GibranFaith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.
-Khalil GibranAnd ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
-Khalil Gibran- Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
let them sleep.
This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
I you want to improve your mind that way,
sleep on.
I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
and sleep.
-Al-Rumi - You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold
to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean. Everything I came
up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It's no good
giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.
So- I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and
remember me.
Jalaluddin Rumi Abraham Lincoln
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.About time...
…a man should say to his soul every morning, "God has given thee twenty-four treasures; take heed lest thou lose anyone of them, for thou wilt not be able to endure the regret that will follow such loss."
- Abu Hamid Al-GhazzaliNo mirror ever became iron again; No bread ever became wheat; No ripened grape ever became sour fruit. Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse. Become the light.
-Al-rumi
God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches you by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly - not one.
- Al-Rumi
