"Life is not only merriment,It is desire..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“Long were the days of pain I have spent within its walls, and long were the nights of aloneness; and who can depart from his pain and his aloneness without regret?”

“love one another, but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.”

“I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop.”

“Short is the little which remains to thee of life. Live as on a mountain.”

“If you don't educate yourself, this is an area of your life that it is a game.”

“One lifetime is not enough to live”

“To be a man is to feel that one's own stone contributes to building the edifice of the world.”

“And truly it demands something godlike in him who cast off the common motives of humanity and ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster.”

“A man's true greatness lies in the consciousness of an honest purpose in life, founded on a just estimate of himself and everything else, on frequent self-examinations, and a steady obedience to the rule which he knows to be right, without troubling himself about what others may think or say, or whether they do or do not that which he thinks and says and does.”
