Those who know me know i love poetry and philosophy. It has a way of making you look at the world differently, through the eyes of someone else. It makes u look beyond urself, keeps the mind fresh and always open. Kahlil is a brilliant poet, i love his mind. I will always be thankful to that waiter in a small cafe in Salt Lake city who introduced me to his work. Anyway below are a few of his quotes, hope you like them but more importantly i hope u leave with a new perspective. ENJOY!!!! "The deeper sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain." "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?" "The optomist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose." "In battling evil, excess is good; for he who is moderate in announcing the truth is presenting half-truth. He conceals the other half out of fear of the people's wrath." "A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle." "All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind." "An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind." "And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair." "Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror." "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." "Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes." "Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother." "Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." "Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper." "Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof." "Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity." "Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need." "I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers." "Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love." "Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them." "Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars." "The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind." "To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to." "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." "Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself." "You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." "You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance." "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." "Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding." An Ounce of Change is Worth a Pound of the Same |
