PICTURES WORTH THOUSANDS OF QUOTES

A quote A quote my pictures for A quote

Ever wonder how a quote or saying can have a meaning only a book can explain, in another word a quote can fill a book to make it understandable.

That's the power of quotes, written in simple language but it takes a trained mind to comprehend.

These gems have lot to teach, it's almost a library.

The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth

You are what you think

There is no illusion greater than fear

The funniest people are the saddest ones

Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life

Imagination is more important than knowledge

Anyone can find the switch after the lights are on

Behind every smile there's teeth

Journey with 1000 niles begins with one step

Every step is in the path

What you do not want done to yourself do not do to others

Silence is true friend who never betrays

You can not open a book without learning something

Life is really simple, we insist on making it complicated

Beauty is truth, truth beauty

To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge

When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them

Without knowing the force of words, it is impossible toknow more

The way to go is to be

Wherever you go, go with all your heart

Thoreau WALDEN Chapter VI: Visitors

Chapter VI: Visitors I think that I love society as much as most, and am ready enough to fasten myself like a bloodsucker for the time to any full-blooded man that comes in my way. I am naturally no hermit, but might possibly sit out the sturdiest frequenter of the bar-room, if my business called me thither. I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society. When visitors came in larger and unexpected numbers there was but the third chair for them all, but they generally economized the room by standing up. It is surprising how many great men and women a small house will contain. I have had twenty-five or thirty souls, with their bodies, at once under my roof, and yet we often parted wit...

The Prophet Gibran Kahlil. Chapter 19 On Friendship

Chapter 19 On Friendship AND a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship. And he answered, saying: Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the “nay” in your own mind, nor do you with hold the “aye.” And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unclaimed . when you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit . For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caug...

The Prophet Gibran, Kahlil. Ch 3 On Marriage

Chapter 3 On Marriage THEN Almitra spoke again and said, And what of Marriage, master? And he answered saying: You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. 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. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the...
