“Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality”
Kahlil Gibran
“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.”
“Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution”
“Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.”
“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”
“The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say.”
“... joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”
