Но когда они уже совсем отчаивались и отбрасывали усилия, просветление приходило к ним само собой...Чжуан-цзы, основатель даосизма, говорит, что только так мы можем познать самих себя — не прилагая усилий.

Every defining term as well as every accepted teaching and doctrine is variously interpreted by the different groups of students. Here is a field in which the most sincere teachers are swept into narrow prejudice by the sheer fire of their enthusiasm and so seem universally to emphasize their differences one from the other when they could as well build upon a meeting ground of common understanding.

Cibran, Yakın, Orta ve Uzak Doğu'nun geleneksel öğretilriyle Batı düşüncesini karşılaştırmış, bireysel ve toplumsal olgulara çeşitli sentezler getirmiştir.

Bu nedenle Cibran'ın eserlerini dinleyenler, bir bakıma peygamberlerin kitaplarını dinliyormuş izlenimine kapılırlar. Tıpkı kutsal kitaplardaki gibi yazım büyük önem taşır. Aforizmalarını sanki meydanlarda yüksek sesle okusunlar diye yazmış gibidir. Her kitapta kurgu aşağı yukarı aynıdır. Bir "öğreten" bir de ondan "öğrenenler" vardır. Konu da az çok aynıdır: Doğa, toplum ve insanoğlu.
