If I extend an empty hand and in retrieving it and finding it still empty, I feel disappointment, that is foolishness; yet if I extend a hand which is full and yet find no one to receive it, then that is hopelessness.
Khalil GibranI once heard a learned man say, "Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure."
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.
