Is Harry - Happy Days still here?



“One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.”
Kahlil Gibran

Thought it might be interesting to bring this one up again. Some lovely words
Together with the memory of some of our previous members? Joy 's thread is lovely as was the lady herself.

Best wishes to all. Happy days

Oh susanwiv , I love to walk away and leave someone spluttering on deaf ears........ :-D :-D

my favourite saying is

I would rather live one day as a lion than a life time as a mouse :-D :-D :-D

Nah Kay .......revenge twists and twists until it can twist no more....then all you end up with is bitter and twisted........hmmmm!....I am feeling quite clever.....I just made that up :-D

Best form of revenge leave others with the frustration....... ;-)

I like that one Joy :-D.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Thankyou Joy :-D

For Rose.

:-)

Give your heart but not into each others keeping for only the hand of god can hold your heart.


from memory might not be word perfect!

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours & if they don't, they never were.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

"Then said a teacher, "Speak to us of Teaching."

And he said:

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of our knowledge.

The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.

If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind"

Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth."

Say not, "I have found the path of the soul."
Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path." For the soul walks upon all paths.

The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

by Kahlil Gibran from "The Prophet"

The Essence of True Politeness is the Consideration
for Other People's Feelings...

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

"For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night."

On Children
Kahlil Gibran

"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

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.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable."

C & p'd by the mother of a teenager who definitely has his own thoughts! lol :-D

Anyone else like sayings of Kahlil Gibran?

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
