The Wisdom of Gibran | Philosophical Library, Joseph Sheban

2 posts | 1 read

An A-to-Z guide to the mystic poet’s maxims and aphorisms An early twentieth-century Lebanese-American writer, Khalil Gibran instilled his poetry and art with his experiences in both the East and West. This selection of quotes, maxims, and aphorisms is drawn from such poems as “Secrets of the Heart,” “Spirits Rebellious,” and “Broken Wings,” as well as from his autobiography and essays. Gibran’s words express a strong spirituality and mysticism and his voice offers a direct and at times optimistic view of the brotherhood of man. Addressing everything from love and death to Jesus, motherhood, and nature, Gibran’s wisdom remains thought provoking and inspirational.

I picked up this nice little collection of Gibran's "aphorisms and maxims" from a dinky second hand bookshop, Berrydin Books (pun-tastic name!). I love the colours of the cover illustration.
The book is arranged as an A-Z collection of sayings culled from Gibran's works, which will, I think, make it handy to randomly dip into if I need a bit of inspiration ?
