Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet
I love you, my brother, whoever you are - whether you worship in a church,
kneel in your temple, or pray in your mosque. You and I are children of one
faith, for the diverse paths of religion are fingers of the loving hand of the one
supreme being, a hand extended to all, offering completeness of spirit to all,
eager to receive all.
