Love is eternal

Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning... And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work.

- Vincent Van Gogh

I am ungrateful

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

- Kahlil Gibran

Lights of stars

The lights of stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So it is with great men who died centuries ago, but still reach us with the radiations of their personalities.

- Kahlil Gibran

Dew of little things

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

- Kahlil Gibran (The Prophet)

Joys and Sorrow

We choose our joys and sorrows
long before we experience them.

- Khalil Gibran
