Life without Freedom is like a body without a soul, and Freedom without Thought is like a confused spirit.... Life, Freedom and Thought are three-in-one, and are everlasting and shall never pass away.Kahlil Gibran
My house says to me, 'do not leave me, for here dwells your past.' And the road says to me, 'Come and follow me, for I am your future.' And I say to both my house and the road, 'I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death change all things.'
Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran
Knowledge and understanding are lifes faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures.
Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran
