Additional quotes by Kahlil Gibran

I have pondered long, and I know now that only the pure of heart forgive the thirst that leads to dead waters. And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but what he aspires to.

There is a space between man's imagination and man's attainment that may only be traversed by his longing.
