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.

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

I deserted the world and sought solitude because I became tired of rendering courtesy to those multitudes who believe that humility is a sort of weakness, and mercy a kind of cowardice, and snobbery a form of strength.

Khalil Gibran
Believe, Tired, Humility

Like the ocean is your god-self; It remains for ever undefiled. And like the ether it lifts but the winged. Even like the sun is your god-self; It knows not the ways of the mole nor seeks it the holes of the serpent. But your god-self does not dwell alone in your being. Much in you is still man, and much in you is not yet man, But a shapeless pigmy that walks asleep in the mist searching for its own awakening.

Khalil Gibran
Ocean, Humility, Men
Khalil Gibran (2014). “The Prophet - Der Prophet”, p.64, Lulu.com
