I saw this in a kebob in Granada, Spain while I was traveling around and I can't remember all of the sayings or who wrote it. I think it may have been an islamic piece, but I'm not sure. It was a set of 6 or 7 sayings that all went something like: In giving be like a river always flowing And 5 or 6 more containing different traits and pieces of nature comparing them to. I'm just wondering who wrote it and if there's a name to this piece? I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this but any help would be awesome. Thank you, Eric

Worship the great power of google! MEVLANA CELALEDDIN RUMI Be like a river in generosity and giving help Be like a sun in tenderness and pity Be like night when covering others' faults Be like a dead when furious and angry Be like earth in modesty and humbleness Be like a sea in tolerance Be as you are or as you look like
...most of our actions are the result of the past, or according to a future ideal. That's not action, that is just conformity. J Krishnamurti "Philosophy, to the Philistine, is an evolutionary process, watched over by some sort of brisk dynamic Providence, and culminating in the supreme insight of modern thought." John Cowper Powys
