Timotej Papler

“You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link.
This is but half the truth.
You are also as strong as your strongest link.
To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of the ocean
by the frailty of its foam.
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

“Solitude has soft, silky hands, but with strong fingers it grasps the heart and makes it ache with sorrow.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Broken Wings

“There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.”
― Khalil Gibran

“Darkness may hide the trees
and the flowers from the eyes
but it cannot hide
love from the soul.”
― Khalil Gibran, Love Letters in the Sand: The Love Poems of Khalil Gibran
