Short but Sweet Kahlil Gibran

You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet; you may even throw me into a dark prison; but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free.

It is slavery to live in the mind unless it has become part of the body.

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution.

Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.

To be closer to god, be closer to people.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

Sayings remain meaningless until they are embodied in habits.

I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon the dewdrop.

 Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man.

 For to the bee a flower is a fountain if life
And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love
And to both, bee and flower,
the giving and the receiving is a need and an ecstasy.

Mother Knows Best

Albert Einstein 
 

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
 

We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift.

 We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

 Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

 Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
