Believing is a fine thing, but placing those beliefs into execution is a test of strength. Many are those who talk like the roar of the sea, gut their lives are shallow and stagnant, like the rotting marshes. Many are those who lift their heads above the mountain tops, but their spirits remain dormant in the obscurity of the caverns.
Khalil GibranHe is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
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 GibranYou may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil GibranSay not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
