Ameen Rihani Quotes

In the Lakes of Light, Love and Will, I would baptize all mankind Picture Quote #1

Freedom of the Spirit is the cornerstone of all freedom Picture Quote #1

Breathless and unharmed, we emerge from the mazes of metaphysics and psychology where man and the soul are playing hide-and-seek Picture Quote #1

Fire and light compete today in the East. But there is a lot of green firewood in this fire, and there is a lot of smoke in that light Picture Quote #1

Like the seasons of the year, like history, truth also repeats itself.

Foreign culture is as necessary to the spirit of a nation as is foreign commerce to its industries Picture Quote #1

To copy Nature? A boy with a camera can do that. To get the spirit of Nature? A woodman or a shepherd can follow the trail of the whistling wind to hoarded sunshine in distant wolds. But to interpret Nature and inform it with a human personality that rises above it, invokes the divine in it, is the work of genius Picture Quote #1

All things, good and evil, come out, it seems, of the East. The Illuminati, like the Ismailites, dealt in allegories; and like the Mazdakites, they played with fire Picture Quote #1

Ignorance and fear are twins whose mother is slavery and whose father is oppression, and the mentality of the whole family is that of slaves Picture Quote #1

What is life without its angles of difficulty and defeat, and its tip of triumph and power? Picture Quote #1

Genius everywhere is one. In the Orient and in the Occident the deep thinkers are kin, the poets are cousins, the pioneers of the spirit are the messengers of peace and good will to the world. Their works are the open highways between nations, and they themselves are the ever living guardians and guides Picture Quote #1

We must strive to form a comprehensive sublime nationalism whose first principal is national geographic unity and must strengthen this unity with deeds not with words Picture Quote #1

Yes, I am calling for an intellectual revolution that sweeps away the corruption, absurdity and error, which prevail in morals, customs, traditions, and doctrines Picture Quote #1
