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

Kahlil Gibran............

The Glory of Friendship

The glory of friendship
is not the outstretched hand,
nor the kindly smile
nor the joy of companionship;
it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.

Ralph Emerson

Friendship and Silence

"True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable."

It is our very search for perfection outside ourselves that causes our suffering.

- Buddha
