TO INSPIRE AND MAKE YOU THINK

THE FOLLOWING BELOW ARE QUOTES FROM KAHLIL GIBRAN

One of the best selling poets of all time, He didn't write merely to describe or to give joy or even stir up the emotions, each poem was philosophy. When you read some of his work he puts life in the context where it's supposed to be, something that is necessary, we experience and we learn from and thus grow. 

No matter which quote or poem you may read you will always take something away from it, no matter how many times you read them 

One day you will ask me which is more important? my life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.

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