Khalil Gibran
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Khalil Gibran
Rob a neighbour with a smile.
Khalil Gibran
Your friend is your needs answered.

Khalil Gibran
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
Extreme torture is mute, and so we sat silent, petrified, like columns of marble buried under the sand of an earthquake. Neither wished to listen to the other because our heart-threads had become weak and even breathing would have broken them.
Khalil Gibran
For what is prayer but the expansion of your self into the living ether?
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Disagreement may be the shortest cut between two minds.
Khalil Gibran
The ageless melody, unheard, heals the healing vision, unseen, leads the true leaders, immortal, know...
Khalil Gibran
Should you really open your eyes and see, you would behold your image in all images. And should you open your ears and listen, you would hear your own voice in all voices.
Khalil Gibran
The saint and the sinner are twin brothers...one was born but the moment before the other.
Khalil Gibran
Perhaps time’s definition of coal is the diamond.
Khalil Gibran
Who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed? See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
Khalil Gibran
The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.
Khalil Gibran
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
My brothers, seek counsel of one another, for therein lies the way out of error and futile repentance. The wisdom of the many is your shield against tyranny. For when we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil Gibran
