More quotes by Khalil Gibran
The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.
Khalil Gibran
Life without Liberty is like a body without spirit. Liberty without thought is like a disturbed spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Love prides itself not only in the one who loves, but also in the beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
Khalil Gibran
A word I want to see written on my grave: I am alive like you, and I am standing beside you. Close your eyes and look around, you will see me in front of you.
Khalil Gibran
We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.
Khalil Gibran
There is a desire deep within the soul which drives man from the seen to the unseen, to philosophy and to the divine.
Khalil Gibran
Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.
Khalil Gibran
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Khalil Gibran
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Khalil Gibran
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.
Khalil Gibran
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran
He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked. The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.
Khalil Gibran
Time has been transformed, and we have changed it has advanced and set us in motion it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.
Khalil Gibran
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
Khalil Gibran
He who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
What is fear of need but need itself?
Khalil Gibran
All men love you for themselves. I love you for yourself.
Khalil Gibran
