What is fear of need but need itself?
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A truly religious man does not embrace a religion and he who embraces one has no religion.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you would behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names. It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your house is your larger body. It grows in the sun and sleeps in the stillness of the night and it is not dreamless. Does not your house dream, and dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.
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
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
Image
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Am I less man because I believe in a greater man?
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
Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?
Khalil Gibran
