Remember that Divinity is the true self of Man. It cannot be sold for gold; neither can it be heaped up as are the riches of the world today. The rich man has cast off his Divinity, and has clung to his gold. And the young today have forsaken their Divinity and pursue self-indulgence and pleasure.
Khalil GibranGod has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Khalil GibranPrayer is the song of the heart. It reaches the ear of God even if it is mingled with the cry and the tumult of a thousand men.
Khalil GibranAnd forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil GibranSaid one oyster to a neighboring oyster, "I have a very great pain within me. It is heavy and round and I am in distress." And the other oyster replied with haughty complacence, "Praise be to the heavens and to the sea, I have no pain within me. I am well and whole both within and without." At that moment a crab was passing by and heard the two oysters, and he said to the one who was well and whole both within and without, "Yes, you are well and whole; but the pain that your neighbor bears is a pearl of exceeding beauty."
