More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
Khalil Gibran
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling.
Khalil Gibran
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Khalil Gibran
The sun teaches to all things that grow their longing for the light. But it is night that raises them to the stars.
Khalil Gibran
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
He alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.
Khalil Gibran
As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.
Khalil Gibran
When I planted my pain in the field of patience it bore fruit of happiness.
Khalil Gibran
They have exiled me now from their society and I am pleased, because humanity does not exile except the one whose noble spirit rebels against despotism and oppression. He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom
Khalil Gibran
A shy failure is nobler than an immodest success.
Khalil Gibran
For the sight of the angry weather saddens my soul and the sight of the town, sitting like a bereaved mother beneath layers of ice, oppresses my heart.
Khalil Gibran
Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)
Khalil Gibran
Man struggles to find life outside himself, unaware that the life he is seeking is within him.
Khalil Gibran
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
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
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.
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 smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
Khalil Gibran
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
