Kahlil Gibran
“I have learned silence from the talkative,
tolerance from the intolerant,
and kindness from the unkind.
I should not be ungrateful to these teachers.”

look not at what s/he has already achieved,
but at what s/he aspires to do.”

“A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland.”Kahlil Gibran (via salsabeela)
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 thieves and lairs of wolves.
—Kahlil Gibran
