13. Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

你的生活並非取決於生活給你帶來了什麼，而是取決於你對待生活的態度；並非取決於你的經歷，而是取決於你如何理解這些經歷。

14. A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

身處遠方的朋友有時比近在眼前的更親近。相對於山中的居民，在穿越山谷的人眼中，大山不是更加令人敬畏、清晰可見嗎？

15. The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

真正睿智的老師並不會命令你踏入他智慧的殿堂，而是會指引你跨入自己的思想之門。

註：

卡里·紀伯倫（Kahlil Gibran ）1883年出生在黎巴嫩北部山鄉卜舍里，1931年逝世。

紀伯倫是黎巴嫩阿拉伯詩人、作家、畫家，被稱為「藝術天才」、「黎巴嫩文壇驕子」，是阿拉伯現代小說、藝術和散文的主要奠基人，20世紀阿拉伯新文學道路的開拓者之一。

其主要作品蘊含了豐富的社會性和東方精神，不以情節為重，旨在抒發豐富的情感。

紀伯倫的前期創作以小說為主，後期創作則以散文詩為主。

此外還有詩歌、詩劇、文學評論、書信等。《先知》是紀伯倫步入世界文壇的頂峰之作，曾被譯成二十多種文字在世界各地出版。

紀伯倫的畫風和詩風一樣，都受英國詩人威廉?布萊克（1757—1827）的影響，所以，文壇稱他為「20世紀的布萊克」。

1908年—1910在巴黎藝術學院學習繪畫藝術期間，羅丹曾肯定而自信地評價紀伯倫：「這個阿拉伯青年將成為偉大的藝術家。

」紀伯倫的繪畫具有濃重的浪漫主義和象徵主義色彩，在紀念館收藏。
