More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
Khalil Gibran
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Khalil Gibran
He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked. The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.
Khalil Gibran
When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.
Khalil Gibran
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
Khalil Gibran
He alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.
Khalil Gibran
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
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
It is only when you are pursued that you become swift.
Khalil Gibran
They consider me to have sharp and penetrating vision because I see them through the mesh of a sieve.
Khalil Gibran
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
Khalil Gibran
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
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Khalil Gibran
This for God and this for myself This for my soul, and this other for my body?
Khalil Gibran
Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.
Khalil Gibran
