Beautiful thoughts

Found this quote on a blog.

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
- Oscar Wilde


And a friend of mine at work sent out this beautiful poem along with a picture of his new-born twin boys. I think the boys are really lucky to have a parent like him:

Your Children are not Your Children
They are the Sons and Daughters of Lifes longing for itself
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you, they belong not to you.

You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backwards nor tarries with yesterday.

-- Kahlil Gibran
