Khalil Gibran was a Lebanese-American artist, poet,
and writer. Following are his immortal quotes :
•
Be wise
- let Reason, not Impulse, be your guide.
•
Without
her blood-sister, Knowledge, Reason is like houseless poverty; and Knowledge
without Reason is like a house unguarded.
•
The
learned man who has not judgement is like an unarmed soldier proceeding into
battle.
•
Reason
and learning are like body and soul.
•
Reason
without learning is like the untilled soil, or like the human body that lacks
nourishment.
•
Reason
is not like the goods sold in the market places.
•
Know
your own true worth, and you shall not perish.
•
Each
day look into your conscience and amend your faults; if you fail in this duty,
you will be untrue to the knowledge and Reason that are within you.
•
Keep a
watchful eye over yourself as if you were your own enemy; for you can't learn
to govern yourself, unless you first learn to govern your own passions
and obey the dictates of your conscience.
•
Study a
question from all sides, and you will be sure to discover where error has crept
in.
•
Blessed
are they on whom God has conferred the gift of Reason.
