The power to Love is God's greatest gift to man, For it never will be taken from the Blessed one who loves.
Khalil GibranWhen your friend speaks his mind you fear not the 'nay' in your own mind, nor do you withhold the 'ay. And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
Khalil GibranA truly religious man does not embrace a religion; and he who embraces one has no religion.
Khalil GibranA fox looked at his shadow at sunrise and said, โI will have a camel for lunch today.โ And all morning he went about looking for camels. But at noon he saw his shadow again-and he said, โA mouse will do.
Khalil GibranMy Lebanon is a flock of birds fluttering in the early morning as shepherds lead their sheep into the meadow & rising in the evening as farmers return from their fields and vineyards.You have your Lebanon and its people. I have my Lebanon and its people.
Khalil GibranI am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.
