More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Pity it is we drowse too soon Pity it is we fall asleep Ere our song encompass the height Ere our hand inherit the deep
Khalil Gibran
Image
The tiny flame that lights up the human heart is like a blazing torch that comes down from heaven to light up the paths of mankind. For in one soul are contained the hopes and feelings of all Mankind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let your best be for your friend.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He was gentle, like a man mindful of his own strength. In my dreams I beheld the kings of the earth standing in awe in His presence.
Khalil Gibran
Image
But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your confidence in the people, and your doubt about them, are closely related to your self-confidence and your self-doubt.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When we oppose the hidden conscience, it does us hurt. When we betray it, it judges us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Hearts united in pain and sorrow will not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadness are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tears will remain eternally pure and faithful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.
Khalil Gibran

Those who give you a serpent when you ask for a fish, may have nothing but serpents to give.
Khalil Gibran
