When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
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
For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.
Khalil Gibran
True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Anonymous Love possesses not nor would it be possessed For love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life. Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.
Khalil Gibran
Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.
Khalil Gibran
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. Doubt is a foundling unhappy and astray, and though his own mother who gave him birth should find him and enfold him, he would withdraw in caution and in fear.
Khalil Gibran
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil Gibran
In truth you owe naught to any man. You owe to all men.
Khalil Gibran
And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
Khalil Gibran
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth./The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Khalil Gibran
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Khalil Gibran
You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil Gibran
Your body is the harp of the soul.
Khalil Gibran
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Khalil Gibran
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
Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.
Khalil Gibran
A teacher can only lead you to the threshold of your own mind.
Khalil Gibran
