The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house as a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master. – Kahlil Gibran
That deed which in our guilt we today call weakness, will appear tomorrow as an essential link in the complete chain of Man. – Kahlil Gibran
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. – Kahlil Gibran
For this I bless you most: You give much and know not that you give at all. – Kahlil Gibran
Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words. – Rainer Maria Rilke
