Khalil Gibran
  • When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?

  • Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

  • Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.

  • Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.

  • Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer, and then itself marches upon neighboring lands, killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?
