Kahlil Gibran quote
Jun. 26th, 2004 12:17 amThis extract is taken from "The Prophet", by Kahlil Gibran, published by William Heinemann Ltd: London in 1984 (first published 1926)
"And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know the flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."
