Khalil Gibran

He is primarily known for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. It gained popularity in the 1930s and again in the 1960s counterculture. He is considered the third best-selling poet of all time, right behind Shakespeare and Laozi.
Absoluetly in love with the quote!
Thank you for dropping by. I know, isn’t that a great quote. Khalil Gibran had a great thought about life. That would be one quote I would like to remember everyday upon awakening, especially since none of us know what a new day holds.
That is so true, and I guess also a beautiful way to remember an admired person. I apologize for my lack of culture, who was he?
