If your knowledge teaches you not to rise above human weakness and misery and lead your fellow man on the right path, you are indeed a man of little worth and will remain such till Judgment Day.
More Quotes from Kahlil Gibran:
The human heart cries out for help the human soul implores us for deliverance but we do not heed their cries, for we neither hear nor understand. But the man who hears and understands we call mad, and flee from him. Thus the nights pass, and we live in unawareness and the days greet us and embrace us. But we live in constant dread of day and night.Kahlil Gibran
I am bored with gabbers and their gab my soul abhors them.... Is there any place where there is no traffic in empty talk Is there on this earth one who does not worship himself talking.
Kahlil Gibran
Prayer is the song of the heart. It reaches the ear of God even if it is mingled with the cry and the tumult of a thousand men.
Kahlil Gibran
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed For love is sufficient unto love.
Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran
