The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For this I bless you most. You give much and know not that you give at all.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran

Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.
Khalil Gibran

The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran
