“I am forever walking upon these shores, Betwixt the sand and the foam,
The high tide will erase my foot prints, And the wind will blow away the foam,
But the sea and the shore will remain forever.” 
― Khalil Gibran

“You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.”

“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work…For if you bake with indifference, you bake a bitter bread.”
― Kahlil Gibran

“When love beckons to you follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him thought the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams”
― Khalil Gibran

“The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it,”
― Khalil Gibran

“My house says to me, “Do not leave me, for here dwells your past.”
And the road says to me, “Come and follow me, for I am your future.”
And I say to both my house and the road, “I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death will change all things.”
― Khalil Gibran
