Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof. – Khalil Gibran
Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms. – Khalil Gibran
Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth. – Khalil Gibran
Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love. – Khalil Gibran
I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I dont think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths. – Jimmy Carter
