You often say ; I would give , but only to the deserving, The trees in your orchard say not so , nor the flocks in your pasture. Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and nights is worthy of all else from you. And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream. See first that youyourself deserve to be a giver , and an insturument of giving. For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you , who deem yourself a giver , is but a witness.

Ocean, Night, Giving

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 change all things."

Love, Future, Past

And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.

You shall see Him smiling in flowers, then rising and waving His hands in trees.

Khalil Gibran “The New Frontier and Sand and Foam”, Library of Alexandria

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the same well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

Inspirational Love, Laughter, Wine

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
