Khalil Gibran | Ho imparato il silenzio da chi parla troppo..

By Art periods and styles , , , ,
Ho imparato il silenzio da chi parla troppo,
la tolleranza dagli intolleranti,
la gentilezza dai malvagi;
e, per quanto possa sembrare strano,
sono grato a questi insegnanti.


Nevine Fathy | Portrait of Khalil Gibran, 2018 (detail)

I have learned silence from the talkative,
toleration from the intolerant,
and kindness from the unkind;
yet strange,
I am ungrateful to these teachers.
