More quotes by Khalil Gibran
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin, and calls all others naked and shameless?
Khalil Gibran
He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked. The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.
Khalil Gibran
Let your best be for your friend.
Khalil Gibran
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
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
Khalil Gibran
The wolves prey upon the lambs in the darkness of the night, but the blood stains remain upon the stones in the valley until the dawn comes, and the sun reveals the crime to all.
Khalil Gibran
Your body is the harp of the soul.
Khalil Gibran
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
Khalil Gibran
Make me, oh God, the prey of the Lion, ere you make the rabbit my prey
Khalil Gibran
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
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
Khalil Gibran
I am bored with gabbers and their gab my soul abhors them. . . . Is there any place where there is no traffic in empty talk? Is there on this earth one who does not worship himself talking?
Khalil Gibran
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
Love has the power that dispels death charm that conquers the enemy.
Khalil Gibran
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
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Khalil Gibran
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Khalil Gibran
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Khalil Gibran
