More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
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
Image
A traveller I am, and a navigator, and everyday I discover a new region within my soul.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Between the shores of the oceans and the summit of the highest mountain is a secret route that you must absolutely take before being one with the sons of the Earth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran

Life is but a sleep disturbed by dreaming, prompted by the will the saddened soul with sadness hides it's secrets, and the gay, with thrill.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
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
The soul is an embryo in the body of Man, and the day of death is the Day of awakening, for it is the Great era of labour and the rich Hour of creation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When I planted my pain in the field of patience it bore fruit of happiness.
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
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
All men love you for themselves. I love you for yourself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon which angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Take then this Book, look into it, and show me when Jesus was not forgiving. Read this diving tragedy and tell me where He speaks without mercy and compassion. You visit not the sick and the imprisoned nor do you feed the hungry or give refuge to the stranger or comfort to the mourner.
Khalil Gibran
