THEY COME THROUGH YOU, BUT NOT FROM YOU.

YOU MAY GIVE THEM YOUR LOVE, BUT NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, FOR THEY HAVE THEIR OWN THOUGHTS.

YOU MAY HOUSE THEIR BODIES, BUT NOT THEIR SOULS; FOR THEIR SOULS DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF TOMORROW WHICH YOU CANNOT VISIT, EVEN IN YOUR DREAMS.

YOU MAY STRIVE TO BE LIKE THEM, BUT SEEK NOT TO MAKE THEM LIKE YOU.

YOU ARE THE BOWS FROM WHICH YOUR CHILDREN AS LIVING ARROWS ARE SENT FORTH.

"The Prophet" by K. Gibran
