Beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
Khalil GibranHe that tries to seize an opportunity after it has passed him by is like one who sees it approach but will not go to meet it.
Khalil GibranYour fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Khalil GibranHumanity looks upon Jesus the Nazarene as a poor-born Who suffered misery and humiliation with all of the weak. And He is pitied, for Humanity believes He was crucified painfully. . . . And all that Humanity offers to Him is crying and wailing and lamentation. For centuries Humanity has been worshiping weakness in the person of the Savior. The Nazarene was not weak! He was strong and is strong! But the people refuse to heed the true meaning of strength.
