More quotes by Khalil Gibran
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil Gibran
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
A teacher can only lead you to the threshold of your own mind.
Khalil Gibran
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
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
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting
Khalil Gibran
I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop.
Khalil Gibran
Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.
Khalil Gibran
She danced the dance of flames and fire, and the dance of swords and spears she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.
Khalil Gibran
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
They tell me: If you see a slave sleeping, do not wake him lest he be dreaming of freedom. I tell them: If you see a slave sleeping, wake him and explain to him freedom.
Khalil Gibran
There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Khalil Gibran
A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.
Khalil Gibran
Let there be spaces in your togetherness
Khalil Gibran
I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes.
Khalil Gibran
Follow your heart. Your heart is the right guide in everything big. Mine is so limited. What you want to do is determined by that divine element that is in each of us.
Khalil Gibran
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
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
Wit is often a mask. If you tear it you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling.
Khalil Gibran
There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
Khalil Gibran
