Khalil Gibran – Autorretrato con musa, c. 1911 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
“Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.” — Khalil Gibran
(Now, this is a quotable quote. If they’re going to throw us the occasional curve ball, at least they can make them worth our while. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

It’s been a while since I heard about Khalil Gibran. What about creating one for Krishnamurti?
Good quote, Yur! Thanks 🙂
I’m not the *creator*, Coll. I’m just the *translator*. The Cryptoquote is a cryptogram puzzle in a lot of daily newspapers. Just like The Jumble. All I do is solve these puzzles, then post them as *spoilers* before the answers are published the next day. I usually add some kind of critique, or opinion, just so it’s not too dry. If your newspaper doesn’t carry them, there are places on line where you can download, or just copy to a word doc. De-coding the cryptoquote is one of the highlights of my day! — YUR
