I promise I'll update my blog soon. It's not that I've run out of ideas - I do have a few entries to post - it's just that I can't be bothered to completely weave each entry into a decent piece of writing.

In the mean time, I'll leave you with a few quotes from the third best-selling poet of all time, Khalil Gibran.

  • A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

  • Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.

  • I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realised, than lord among those without dreams and desires.

  • In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

  • Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only before the truth.

  • Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it so that the other half may reach you.

  • 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.

  • Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.

  • To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to do.
