Quote by Khalil Gibran

“On a moonless night a man entered into his neighbour's garden and stole the largest melon he could find and brought it home. He opened it and found it still unripe. Then behold a marvel! The man's conscience woke and smote him with remorse; and he repented having stolen the melon.”

“Although I’m what is called a progressive, it isn’t out of dislike for the past. I don’t reject our yesterdays. I wish that parts of our dead past were more alive. If I’m capable of originality, it’s not because I want to knock down idols or be ahead of the times. If there’s anything rigid about me, it’s a distaste for being in vogue.

We may disagree on one issue or another, but that is where I belong.”

“This is what makes Christian meditation distinctive. It is not a retreat, an escape from the realities of the brokenness around us. Instead, it is a pause inward, in order to move outward--a considering of others and a communing with God in order to better serve the world.”
