"Life is the mistress to be wooed...." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“Some who are too scrupulous to steal your possessions nevertheless see no wrong in tampering with your thoughts.”

“You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving." The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.”

“If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.”

“There is no greater privilege in life than being yourself.”

“MY greatest regret in life is that I never became the heavyweight boxing champion ofthe world.”

“Life is the art of being well deceived, and to succeed, it must be habitual and uninterrupted.”

“Intellectual ''work'' is misnamed; it is a pleasure, a dissipation, and is its own highest reward.”

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”

“The secret is to find what you love to do.I mean, I tell the students look for the job that you would take if you didn't need a job. I mean, it's that simple. And I was lucky enough to find it very early in life. And then the second thing is to have people around you that make feel good every day, and make you a better person than you otherwise would be.”
