CytatyKahlil GibranLebanese artist & poet in US (1883 - 1931)And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.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. And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror. Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily, when good is hungry is seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters. For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. Give your hearts, but not into each other?s keeping, For only the hand of God can contain your hearts. God made Truth with many doors to welcome every believer who knocks on them. I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves. I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.
