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?
Kahlil Gibran

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

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.

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Kahlil Gibran

There is more to life than increasing its speed.
Mohandas Gandhi

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
Mohandas Gandhi

An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Mohandas Gandhi

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.
Mohandas Gandhi
