纪伯伦（Kahlil Gibran）是黎巴嫩裔的美国诗人、画家和哲学家，其代表作品《先知》（The Prophet）是世界文学史上的经典之一。以下是他的几句著名诗句：

"We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting."

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding."

"Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."

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

"And what is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth."。
