Image
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A God who is good knows no segregation amongst words or names. And were a God to deny his blessing to those who pursue a different path to eternity, there would be no human who should offer worship.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Inspiration is in seeing a part of the whole with the part of the whole in you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is a magic ray emitted from the burning core of the soul and illuminating the surrounding earth. It enables us to perceive life as a beautiful dream between one awakening and another.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Make me, oh God, the prey of the Lion, ere you make the rabbit my prey
Khalil Gibran
Image
I have found both freedom and safety in my madness the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes.
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
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Khalil Gibran
Image
From a sensitive woman's heart springs the happiness of mankind, and from the kindness of her noble spirit comes mankind's affection.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility. The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that lives in a dark tunnel.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There is a desire deep within the soul which drives man from the seen to the unseen, to philosophy and to the divine.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Every beauty and greatness in this world is created by a single thought or emotion inside a man. Every thing we see today, made by past generations, was, before its appearance, a thought in the mind of a man or an impulse in the heart of a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
Khalil Gibran
