Yr Favorite Quotes from: Khalil Gibran

I'm not sure where this thread belongs.

It's more Philosophy, Poetry, or LIfe's Learning Experiences: So, I selected here:

Some of my faves are:

"Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you."

("The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran)

Or,

my all time, current, really really fave is

(If it's even possible to select only one.. heh)

"I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers."

("Sand & Foam" by Khalil Gibran)

The moving finger writes, and having writ,

Moves on,

Nor all your piety nor wit,

Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,

Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

From The Prophet by Khalil Ghibran,

as I remember from about 1970.

Also love the quotations about children and

"Let there be spaces in your togetherness."

@zitawins

Great quote!

I've asked numerous Husbands/Wives, who seem to be in a successful marriage, "What is the secret to a successful marriage." I usually get many answers & perspectives, but seems one of the most frequent is summed up in the quote you offered above! Seems not to easy to achieve & maintain either.

Thank you @zitawins
