More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil Gibran
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done.
Khalil Gibran
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself, but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires.
Khalil Gibran
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Khalil Gibran
Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.
Khalil Gibran
For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.
Khalil Gibran
The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.
Khalil Gibran
Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.
Khalil Gibran
We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Khalil Gibran
The first glance from the eyes of the beloved is like the spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, giving birth to heaven and earth.
Khalil Gibran
Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.
Khalil Gibran
Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate.
Khalil Gibran
My yearning is my cup, my burning thirst is my drink, and my solitude is my intoxication I do not and shall not quench my thirst. But in this burning that is never extinguished is a joy that never wanes.
Khalil Gibran
You cannot laugh and be unkind at the same time
Khalil Gibran
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Khalil Gibran
He who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage.
Khalil Gibran
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
Thinking is always the stumbling stone to poetry.
Khalil Gibran
Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.
Khalil Gibran
