When two share an umbrella, both of them get wet.

It’s no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking.~ Irish Proverb

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.

~Kahlil Gibran                                       More quotes and sayings about the soul here
