Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. - Kahlil Gibran

The tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts;
And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime.
And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
