More quotes by Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind."
"For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and Passion, unattended,is a flame that burns to its own destruction."
"He who is more mindful of one, loses the love and the faith of both."
"We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered."
"He who is more mindful of one, loses the love and the faith of both."
