Out of all the writers and philosiphers who have touched my life, the greatest one is Kahlil Girbran, aka The Prophet. Jack Kerouac is up there but he's still no Kahlil.
I have a compilation book called The Treasured Writings of Kahlil Gibran that is basically my bible. Mr. Gibran and plain old fishing are my religion. I wanted to share a quote with those of you who have been so amazing and wonderful to me on this board. Hope you enjoy.
" When you tell your troubles to your neighbor you present him with a great part of your heart. If he possesses a great soul, he thanks you; if he possesses a small one, he belittles you".
And my personal favorite:
" He who understands you is greater kin to you than your own brother for even your own kindred may never know you nor know your true worth"
