My soul preached to me and said, "Do not be delighted because of praise, and do not be distressed because of blame."
Ere my soul counseled me, I doubted the worth of my work.
Now I realize that the trees blossom in Spring and bear fruit in Summer without seeking praise; and they drop their leaves in Autumn and become naked in Winter without fearing blame. ~ Kahlil Gibran, poet
