Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet is quite possibly the most powerful and articulate book ever written. His insight is simple and yet soul-shakingly profound. If you have yet to read some of his work, I would suggest you invest some time into it, you might enjoy it as much as I.
 
Most of you should have already heard this one at least once. It has always struck a chord in me so here goes. Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken.


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
