I once heard a learned man say, 'Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.'
More Quotes from Kahlil Gibran:
And you receiversand you are all receiversassume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.Kahlil Gibran
God has given you a spirit with wings on which to soar into the spacious firmament of Love and Freedom. Is it not pitiful than that you cut your wings with your own hands and suffer your soul to crawl like an insect upon the earth.
Kahlil Gibran
Wit is often a mask. If you tear it you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling.
Kahlil Gibran
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Kahlil Gibran
When God created Man, he gave him Music as a language different from all other languages. And early man sang his glory in the wilderness and drew the hearts of kings and moved them from their thrones.
Kahlil Gibran
Each thing that exists remains forever, and that very existence of existence is proof of its eternity. But without that realization, which is the knowledge of perfect being, man would never know whether there was existence or non-existence. If eternal existence is altered, then it must become more beautiful and if it disappears, it must return with more sublime image and if it sleeps, it must dream of a better awakening, for it is ever greater upon its rebirth.
