More quotes by Khalil Gibran
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil Gibran
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
Khalil Gibran
The soul is an embryo in the body of Man, and the day of death is the Day of awakening, for it is the Great era of labour and the rich Hour of creation.
Khalil Gibran
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
Khalil Gibran
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Khalil Gibran
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
A teacher can only lead you to the threshold of your own mind.
Khalil Gibran
Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them - but do not a make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it.
Khalil Gibran
And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love and when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.
Khalil Gibran
Now let us play hide and seek. Should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. But should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you.
Khalil Gibran
A woman whom Providence has provided with beauty of spirit and body is a truth, at the same time both open and secret, which we can understand only by love, and touch only by virtue.
Khalil Gibran
The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.
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
You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation.
Khalil Gibran
Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.
Khalil Gibran
...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
Khalil Gibran
You are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.
