Image
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
The lights of stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So it is with great men who died centuries ago, but still reach us with the radiations of their personalities.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
Image
God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wit is often a mask. If you tear it you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Inspiration is in seeing a part of the whole with the part of the whole in you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
Khalil Gibran
