"Seek ye counsel of the aged for..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“You, the strong, have I loved, though the marks of your iron hoofs are yet upon my flesh.”

“When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.”

“Friendship with the ignorant is as foolish as arguing with a drunkard.”

“Give to a gracious message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves when they be felt.”

“I learnt silence from the talkative”

“Compassionate people are geniuses in the art of living, more necessary to the dignity, security, and joy of humanity than the discoverers of knowledge.”

“No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.”

“To give counsel, as well as to take it, is a feature of true friendship.”

“Friendly counsel cuts off many foes.”
