Your thought describes laws, courts, judges, punishments. Mine explains that when man makes a law, he either violates it or obeys it. If there is a basic law, we are all one before it. He who disdains the mean is himself mean. He who vaunts his scorn of the sinful vaunts his disdain of all humanity.

Additional quotes by Kahlil Gibran

احتقرتُ نفسي سبعَ مرَّات:

الأولى، عندما رأيتُها تتظاهرُ الوضاعة وهي تنشدُ الرِّفعة.

والثانية عندما رأيتها تترنَّح متجاوزة العَرْجى.

والثالثة عندما خُيِّرتْ بين السَّهل والشَّاق ففضَّلت السَّهل.

والرابعة عندما اقترفَتْ ذنباً وراحتْ تبرِّره باقتراف الآخرين ذنوباً مماثلة.

والخامسة عندما عجِزَتْ عن فعل شيء لضعفها وعزَتْ صبرَها إلى القوَّة.

والسادسة عندما احتقرتْ بشاعة وجهٍ تبيَّن أنه أحدُ براقعها.

والسابعة عندما غنَّتْ مديحاً واعتبرتْ غناءَها فضيلة.

"My face and your faces shall not be masked; our hand shall hold neither sword nor sceptre, and our subjects shall love us in peace and shall not be in fear of us." Thus spoke Jesus, and unto all the kingdoms of the earth I was blinded, and unto all the cities of walls and towers; and it was in my heart to follow the Master to His kingdom.
