Ahhh my favourite quote:iris_ice:
"Bite ME!"
"Don't gain the world and lose your soul. because wisdom is better than silver and gold"
"In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty"
"When the race gets hard to run. It means you just can't take the pace "
"Woe to the downpressors, they'll eat the bread of sorrow"
"We refuse to be what you wanted us to be. We are what we are, and that's the way it's going to be"
"The power of philosophy floats through my head, Light like a feather but as Heavy as Lead "
"No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor will we bow neither can be bought nor sold "
- Robert Nesta Marley O.M.
And about a billion others that I feel are equally powerful

"Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror"
"One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night."
"You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."
"Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother."
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding."
"I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires."
Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet is quite possibly the most powerful and articulate book ever written. His insight is simple and yet soul-shakingly profound. If you have yet to read some of his work, I would suggest you invest some time into it, you might enjoy it as much as I.

Most of you should have already heard this one at least once. It has always struck a chord in me so here goes. Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
