Wisdom from the east

“You were born with potential. 
You were born with goodness and trust. 
You were born with ideals and dreams. 
You were born with greatness. 
You were born with wings. 
You are not meant for crawling, so don't. 
You have wings. 
Learn to use them and fly." 
- Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273)

Friends...

"With friends you grow wings.
Alone
You are a single feather in disgrace.
With them you master the wind,
but alone
you're blown in all directions."

Rumi
