FAITH IS AN OASIS - KAHLIL GIBRAN

.


.
Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)
Lebanese-American Artist, Poet, and Writer
The third best-selling poet of all time,
behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu.
 .

.
"I love you when you bow in your mosque,
kneel in your temple, pray in your church.
For you and I are sons of one religion,
and it is the spirit."
.
.
.
"Faith is an oasis in the heart
which can never be reached by
the caravan of thinking."
 .
.  .
. . .
  "Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood."
  . . .
  "Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you, or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in the desert."
.
 "Nor shall derision prove powerful against those  who listen to humanity or those who follow  in the footsteps of divinity,   for they shall live forever. Forever."
