There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.
Laughing faces do not mean that there is absence of sorrow! But it means that they have the ability to deal with it.
Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness.
Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Keep 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 Gibran

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”
—Khalil Gibran
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility. - Khalil Gibran

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.
