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."
"Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.But you are eternity and you are the mirror."
"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."
"Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”But I say unto you, they are inseparable.Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed."
