More quotes by Khalil Gibran
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Khalil Gibran
The heart's affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree if the tree loses one strong branch it will suffer but it does not die it will pour all its vitality into the next branch so that it will grow and fill the empty place.
Khalil Gibran
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.
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
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
But now I have learned to listen to silence. To hear its choirs singing the song of ages, chanting the hymns of space, and disclosing the secrets of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
Khalil Gibran
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
Khalil Gibran
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
Khalil Gibran
Am I a harp that the hand of the mighty may touch me, or a flute that his breath may pass through me? A seeker of silences am I, and what treasure have I found in silences that I may dispense with confidence?
Khalil Gibran
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
Khalil Gibran
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
Khalil Gibran
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
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
Every man is two men one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.
Khalil Gibran
