 Some hear with their ears, some with their stomachs, some with their pockets, and some hear not at all.
Kahlil Gibran
Spiritual Sayings of Kahlil Gibran
My proof convinces the ignorant, and the wise man's proof convinces me. But he whose reasoning falls between wisdom and ignorance, I neither can convince him, nor can he convince me.
Kahlil Gibran
Spiritual Sayings of Kahlil Gibran
He brings disaster upon his nation who never sows a seed, or lays a brick, or weaves a garment, but makes politics his occupation.
Kahlil Gibran
Spiritual Sayings of Kahlil Gibran
Seven times have I despised my soul: The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height. The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled. The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy. The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong. The fifth time when she forbore for weakness, and attributed her patience to strength. The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks. And the seventh time when she sang a song of praise, and deemed it a virtue.
Kahlil Gibran

Behold here is a paradox: the deep and the high are nearer to one another than the mid-level to either.
Kahlil Gibran

A pearl is a temple built by pain around a grain of sand. What longing built our bodies and around what grains?
