There are two types of poor people, those who are poor together and those who are poor alone. The first are the true poor, the others are rich people out of luck. | |

I Resemble That Remark

This may sound ‘old-man-ish’, but I believe steady advancement in whatever work you choose; growing knowledge of many things; creative imagination put to constructive use; the growing respect and consequent advance in responsibility from your employers if you’re working for someone, or from you neighbors if you’re in business for yourself – those things are, in my opinion, of much greater value than the mere accumulation of money. And the best part of it is, that if you grow in those ways, that extra money will come to you, but merely as corollary to the greater achievements. | |

No great amount of experience is required to discover that the greedy search for money or success will almost always lead men into unhappiness. Why? Because that kind of life makes them depend upon things outside themselves. | |

The Wealth Of Sons (And Daughters)
Posted in Politics, Quotes, Science and Learning, tagged Kahlil Gibran, On Learning, On Wealth, Politics, Quotes, The Words Of The Master on September 11, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Learning is the only wealth tyrants cannot despoil. Only death can dim the lamp of knowledge that is within you. The true wealth of a nation lies not in its gold or silver but in its learning, wisdom, and in the uprightness of its sons. | |
— Kahlil Gibran | |
From his book: “The Words Of The Master“ | |
[My heart goes out to those who have lost their family members in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world – and to all those (civilian and military) who’ve suffered injury serving their country and communities. God Bless You and Keep You. Your country and fellow veterans honor your sacrifices as you have honored us with your service. — KMAB] | |
