Kahlil Gibran
“You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Stephen W. Hawking
“One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.”
Stephen Hawking
