1 " He who understands you is greater kin to you than your own brother. For even your own kindred may neither understand you nor know your true worth. "
― Kahlil Gibran , The Wisdom of Gibran: Aphorisms and Maxims
2 " The mission of art is to bring out the unfamiliar from the most familiar. "
3 " When you tell your trouble to your neighbour you present him with a part of your heart. If he possesses a great soul, he thanks you; if he possesses a small one, he belittles you. "
4 " The life that the rich man spends in heaping up gold is in truth like the life of the worms in the grave. It is a sign of fear. "
5 " Woe to the nation that receives her conquerors beating the drums. Woe to the nation that hates oppression in her sleep and accepts it in her awakening. Woe to the nation that raises that voice only behind a coffin and prides itself only in the cemetery. Woe to a nation that does not revolt until her neck is placed on the scaffold. "
