More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Saying this, he turned his head toward the window as if he were trying to solve the problems of human existence by concentrating on the beauty of the universe.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thinking is always the stumbling stone to poetry.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I have passed the mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the firmament of Complete and unbounded freedom I am in comfort, I am in peace.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Jesus was not sent here to teach the people to build magnificent churches and temples amidst the cold wretched huts and dismal hovels. He came to make the human heart a temple, and the soul an altar, and the mind a priest.
Khalil Gibran
Image
That which seems most feeble and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined. Is it not your breath that has erected and hardened the structure of your bones?
Khalil Gibran
Image
We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Extreme torture is mute, and so we sat silent, petrified, like columns of marble buried under the sand of an earthquake. Neither wished to listen to the other because our heart-threads had become weak and even breathing would have broken them.
Khalil Gibran
Image
One may not reach the dawn save by path of night.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
