Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
To belittle, you have to be little.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.
Khalil Gibran
The appearance of things changes according to the emotions and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.
Khalil Gibran
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
Khalil Gibran
When a man's hand touches the hand of a woman, they both touch the heart of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
Khalil Gibran
A God who is good knows no segregation amongst words or names. And were a God to deny his blessing to those who pursue a different path to eternity, there would be no human who should offer worship.
Khalil Gibran
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil Gibran
When God created Man, he gave him Music as a language different from all other languages. And early man sang his glory in the wilderness and drew the hearts of kings and moved them from their thrones.
Khalil Gibran
Love has the power that dispels death charm that conquers the enemy.
Khalil Gibran
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility. The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that lives in a dark tunnel.
Khalil Gibran
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Khalil Gibran
Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place.
Khalil Gibran
A hermit is one who renounces the world of fragments that he may enjoy the world wholly and without interruption.
Khalil Gibran
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Khalil Gibran
You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil. For a divided house is not a den of thieves it is only a divided house. And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.
Khalil Gibran
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran
