More quotes by Khalil Gibran
When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.
Khalil Gibran
Your body is the harp of the soul.
Khalil Gibran
Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.
Khalil Gibran
Give me an ear and I will give you a Voice.
Khalil Gibran
Should you really open your eyes and see, you would behold your image in all images. And should you open your ears and listen, you would hear your own voice in all voices.
Khalil Gibran
Solitude has soft, silky hands, but with strong fingers it grasps the heart and makes it ache with sorrow.
Khalil Gibran
No human relation gives one possession in another—every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.
Khalil Gibran
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
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
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
Khalil Gibran
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
They consider me to have sharp and penetrating vision because I see them through the mesh of a sieve.
Khalil Gibran
All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.
Khalil Gibran
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Khalil Gibran
Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.
Khalil Gibran
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
Khalil Gibran
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
Khalil Gibran
One may not reach the dawn save by path of night.
Khalil Gibran
