Just finished reading the "Spiritual Sayings of Khalil Gibran"... Beautiful book ... Might be hard to find, but if you can find it, definately a good read ... For those who haven't read it, I thought I'd share some of the quotes that I really liked ... Enjoy ...
- Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth ... I found the first in a loving heart ... And the second in a laborer's hand ...
- No lower can a man descend ... Than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver ...
- What shall I say of the man who slaps me when I kiss him on the face ... And who kisses my foot when I slap him ...
- How hard is the life of him who asks for love and receives passion ...
- To be closer to God ... Be closer to people ...
- Some hear with their ears ... Some with their stomachs ... Some with their pockets ... And some hear not at all ...
- We demand freedom of speech and freedom of press ... Although we have nothing to say and nothing worth printing ...
- Man merely discovers ... He never can and never will invent ...
- Worship does not require seclusion and solitude ...
- How distant I am from the people when I am with them ... And how close when they are far away ...
- Prayer is the song of the heart that makes its way to the throne of God ... Even when entangled in the wailing of thousands of souls ...
- My enemy said to me, "Love your enemy" ... And I obeyed him and loved myself ...
- Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others ...
- Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God ...
- Contradiction is the lowest form of intelligence ...
