God has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All work is empty save when there is love.
Khalil Gibran

Conscience is a just but weak judge. Weakness leaves it powerless to execute its judgment.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love passes by us, robed in meekness but we flee from her in fear, or hide in the darkness or else pursue her, to do evil in her name.
