1. O thou who are enamored with the beauty of Truth, and hast fixed thy heart on the simplicity of her charms, hold fast thy fidelity unto her, and forsake her not; the constancy of thy virtue shall crown thee with honor. 2. The tongue of the sincere is rooted in heart; hypocrisy and deceit have no place in his words. 3. He blusheth at falsehood, and is founded; but in speaking the truth, he hath a steady eye. 4. He supporteth, as a man, the dignity of his character; to the arts of hypocrisy he scorneth to stoop. 5. He is consistent with himself; he is never embarrassed; he hath courage enough for truth; but to lie he is afraid. HK OF THE MSTOFA. I am never ashamed to speak the truth, on facebook or other wise and if one thinks I feel bad regarding that fact...I dont!! If others feel bad, THEN ask yourselves... WHY??? Kahill Gibran....On Teaching No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding. The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it. And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither. For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in Gods knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.
