Quote by Kahlil Gibran

No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies

Summary

This quote suggests that external sources, such as other people, can only bring forth knowledge that already exists within us. It implies that we have innate understanding and awareness, but sometimes we are not fully conscious of it until someone or something external triggers it. Thus, no one can truly reveal something entirely new to us; they can only awaken what is already hidden within our own minds. It reinforces the idea that personal growth and enlightenment come from within, and that external input serves as a catalyst rather than the source of new knowledge.
