Gibran Said

FYI, I usually don't really like Gibran. However, the following quotes are quite cool. :-D

Friendship:
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Overcoming Failure:
A shy failure is nobler than an immodest success.

Love:
And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.

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

Success:
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

Life:
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

Love:
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; for love is sufficient unto love.

Insight:
Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.

Optimism:
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.

Life:
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love buy only with distaste it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take aims of those who work with joy.


Success:

Work is love made visible. And if you can't work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of the people who work with joy.
