Work Is Love Made Visible

The Prophet

by Kahlil Gibran.

Work is love made visible.

— Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Why it belongs

Gibran speaks the inner life in images—love, work, grief, joy—meeting the reader where meaning is actually felt rather than argued.

Echoes across the paths

The same structure, carried in other images—one tradition's metaphor mapping onto another's.
