The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

But let there Be spaces in your togetherness. p. 15

Children .. from behind their eyes  He smiles upon the earth

Deep is your longing for the land of your memories and the Dwelling place of your greater Desires. p. 9

Entwined together in the silent heart of the Earth. p. 43

Friendship: 

Giving: 

How shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds? p. 43

If this is my day of harvest, in what fields have I sowed the seed?

Joy of giving p. 20 Joy is your sorrow unmasked ... only when you are empty, are you

Keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth. p. 25

Let the winds of heavens dance between you

Moving sea between the shores of your souls
Naked in the wind and melt into the sun p. 81
Oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow. p. 16
Prophet of God, in quest for the uttermost. p. 9
Quiver with the same music... Quench your thirst
Return home at eventide with gratitude...Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings,
Sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. p. 14

Sweetness of friendship:

Thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words my indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly. p. 60

Unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.

What is fear of need, but need itself?

eXceeding tenderness

Zipporah; for the love of happenstance.
