“أعطني أذناً أعطك صوتاً .
العقل إسفنجة , والقلب جدول .
أفليس بالغريب أن أكثرنا يؤثرون الامتصاص على الإنطلاق ؟”

“إن الحياة تكون بالحقيقة ظالمة حالكة إذا لم ترافقها الحركة
والحركة تكون عمياء لا بركة فيها إن لم ترافقها المعرفة
والمعرفة تكون عميقة سقيمة إن لم يرافقها العمل
والعمل يكون باطلا وبلا ثمر إن لم يقترن بالمحبة لأنكم إذا اشتغلتم بمحبة فإنما تربطون أنفسكم وأفرادكم بعضها ببعض ويرتبط كل واحد منكم بربه”

“عندما تكون صامتا مصغيا الى ذاتك العميقة، في حلمك المستيقظ، تنثال أفكارك انثيال الثلوج المندوفة، وتتهاوى وتنتثر وتلف أصداء فضائك بصمت أبيض.

وأي شيء هي الأحلام المستيقظة سوى غمام يبرعم ويتفتح في شجرة سماء قلبك؟ وأي شيء هي أفكارك سوى الأوراق التي تذروها رياح قلبك على الروابي وحقولها؟”

“When My Sorrow Was Born         When my Sorrow was born I nursed it with care, and watched over it with loving tenderness. And my Sorrow grew like all living things, strong and beautiful and full of wondrous delights. And we loved one another, my Sorrow and I, and we loved the world about us; for Sorrow had a kindly heart and mine was kindly with Sorrow. And when we conversed, my Sorrow and I, our days were winged and our nights were girdled with dreams; for Sorrow had an eloquent tongue, and mine was eloquent with Sorrow. And when we sang together, my Sorrow and I, our neighbors sat at their windows and listened; for our songs were deep as the sea and our melodies were full of strange memories. And when we walked together, my Sorrow and I, people gazed at us with gentle eyes and whispered in words of exceeding sweetness. And there were those who looked with envy upon us, for Sorrow was a noble thing and I was proud with Sorrow. But my Sorrow died, like all living things, and alone I am left to muse and ponder. And now when I speak my words fall heavily upon my ears. And when I sing my songs my neighbours come not to listen. And when I walk the streets no one looks at me. Only in my sleep I hear voices saying in pity, “See, there lies the man whose Sorrow is dead.��         And When My Joy was Born         And when my Joy was born, I held it in my arms and stood on the house-top shouting, “Come ye, my neighbours, come and see, for Joy this day is born unto me. Come and behold this gladsome thing that laugheth in the sun.�� But none of my neighbours came to look upon my Joy, and great was my astonishment. And every day for seven moons I proclaimed my Joy from the house-top—and yet no one heeded me. And my Joy and I were alone, unsought and unvisited. Then my Joy grew pale and weary because no other heart but mine held its loveliness and no other lips kissed its lips. Then my Joy died of isolation. And now I only remember my dead Joy in remembering my dead Sorrow. But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.”

“My soul counselled me and instructed me to see that the light
which I carry is not my light,
That my song was not created within me;
For though I travel with the light, I am not the light.”
― Khalil Gibran, Kahlil Gibran, The Collected Works

“Oh human heart, woman is your own reflection, and whatever you are, she is; wherever you live, she lives; she is like religion if not interpreted by the ignorant, and like a moon, if not veiled with clouds, and like a breeze, if not poisoned with impurities.”

“Everything in life is good; even gold, for it teaches a lesson. Money is like a stringed instrument; he who does not know how to use it properly will hear only discordant music. Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and it enlivens the other who turns it upon his fellow man.”��”

“Said a sheet of snow-white paper, “Pure was I created, and pure will I remain forever. I would rather be burnt and turn to white ashes than suffer darkness to touch me or the unclean to come near me.”�� The ink-bottle heard what the paper was saying, and it laughed in its dark heart; but it never dared to approach her. And the multicoloured pencils heard her also, and they too never came near her.  And the snow-white sheet of paper did remain pure and chaste forever, pure and chaste—and empty.”
