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."
"He who is more mindful of one, loses the love and the faith of both."
"You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts."
"And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course."
"Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite."
