Ameen Rihani Spirit Quotations

Only a well-rounded intellect, a spirit nourished in the eternal sources of intelligence and culture, of justice and wisdom, is a safeguard against both indifference and skepticism.

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.

The will is the spirit of perseverance, and perseverance holds clear success.

Foreign culture is as necessary to the spirit of a nation as is foreign commerce to its industries.

Freedom of the Spirit is the cornerstone of all freedom.
