Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
Kahlil GibranIf the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember
Kahlil GibranYour hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.
You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.
And it is well that you should.
The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;
and the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Kahlil GibranWisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Kahlil GibranAnd an old priest said, Speak to us of Religion.
And he said:
Have I spoken this day of aught else?
Is not religion all deeds and all reflection,
And that which is neither deed nor reflection, but a wonder and a surprise ever springing in the soul, even while the hands hew the stone or tend the loom?
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Who can spread his hours before him, saying, "This for God and this for myself; This for my soul and this other for my body"?
All your hours are wings that beat through space from self to self.
He who wears his mortality but as his best garment were better naked.
The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.
And he who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage.
The freest song comes not through bars and wires.
And he to whom worshiping is a window, to open but also to shut, has not yet visited the house of his soul whose windows are from dawn to dawn.
Your daily life is your temple and your religion.
Whenever you enter into it take with you your all.
Take the plough and the forge and the mallet and the lute,
The things you have fashioned in necessity or for delight.
For in reverie you cannot rise above your achievements nor fall lower than your failures.
And take with you all men:
For in adoration you cannot fly higher than their hopes nor humble yourself lower than their despair.
And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles.
Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.
And look into space; you shall see Him walking in the cloud, outstretching His arms in the lightning and descending in rain.
You shall see Him smiling in flowers, then rising and waving His hands in trees.
لم اتفق قط مع ذاتى الثانية كل الاتفاق.. ويلوح لى ان سر القضية كائن اخر بينى وبينها

نحن أبناء الكآبة.
نحن الأنبياء والشعراء والموسيقيون
if you cannot but weep when your soul summons you to prayer, she should spur you again and yet again, though weeping, until you shall come laughing
Kahlil GibranMots clés prayer
ما أتعس الرّجل الذي يحبّ صبيَّةً من بين الصَّبايا و يتَّخذها رفيقةً لحياته، و يهرق على قدميها عرق جبينه و دم قلبه، و يضع بين كفيها ثمار أتعابه و غلة اجتهاده، ثمَّ ينتبه فجأة فيجد قلبها الّذي حاول ابتياعه بمجاهدة الأيام و سهر الليالي قد أعطٍيَ مجاناً لرجل آخر ليتمتَّع بمكنوناته و يسعد بسرائر محبَّته
