Your thought describes laws, courts, judges, punishments. Mine explains that when man makes a law, he either violates it or obeys it. If there is a basic law, we are all one before it. He who disdains the mean is himself mean. He who vaunts his scorn of the sinful vaunts his disdain of all humanity.
Khalil GibranThe thirst of soul is sweeter than the wine of material things, and the fear of spirit is dearer than the security of the body.
Khalil GibranIf you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.
Khalil GibranAnd when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart: Your seeds shall live in my body, And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart, And your fragrance shall be my breath, And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.
Khalil Gibran
