Image
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who passes not his days in the realm of dreams is the slave of the days.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Spiritual awakening is the most essential thing in man's life, and it is the sole purpose of being. Is not civilization, in all its tragic forms, a supreme motive for spiritual awakening?
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.
Khalil Gibran

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
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If any of you would bring judgment the unfaithful wife, let him also weight the heart of her husband in scales, and measure his soul with measurements.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
From a sensitive woman's heart springs the happiness of mankind, and from the kindness of her noble spirit comes mankind's affection.
Khalil Gibran
Image
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin, and calls all others naked and shameless?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
