Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Image
God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your friend is your needs answered.
Khalil Gibran

Because the soul is like a flower that folds its petals when dark comes, and breathes not its fragrance into the phantoms of the night.
Khalil Gibran

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran

He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran

There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They tell me: If you see a slave sleeping, do not wake him lest he be dreaming of freedom. I tell them: If you see a slave sleeping, wake him and explain to him freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Follow your heart. Your heart is the right guide in everything big. Mine is so limited. What you want to do is determined by that divine element that is in each of us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet you may even throw me into a dark prison but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free!
Khalil Gibran
Image
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin, and calls all others naked and shameless?
Khalil Gibran
Image
What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?
Khalil Gibran
Image
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
