We are face to face with this great world, and our relations to it are manifold. One of these is the necessity we have to live, to till the soil, to gather food, to clothe ourselves, to get materials from nature. We are always making things that will satisfy our needs, always in touch with this great world through hunger and thirst. Then, we have our mind; and our mind seeks its own food. It must find out reason in things, faced with a multiplicity of facts, and bewildered when it cannot find one unifying principle which simplifies the heterogeneity of things.

Cibran, Yakın, Orta ve Uzak Doğu'nun geleneksel öğretilriyle Batı düşüncesini karşılaştırmış, bireysel ve toplumsal olgulara çeşitli sentezler getirmiştir. Yapıtlarında şiirsel bir anlatım kullanmış, doğu düşüncesini batı diliyle yazmıştır. 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.
