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
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
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
Man struggles to find life outside himself, unaware that the life he is seeking is within him.
Khalil Gibran
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
Khalil Gibran
Strange that we all defend our wrongs with more vigor than we do our rights.
Khalil Gibran
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Khalil Gibran
A truly religious man does not embrace a religion and he who embraces one has no religion.
Khalil Gibran
Am I less man because I believe in a greater man?
Khalil Gibran
Only those return to Eternity Who on earth seek out Eternity.
Khalil Gibran
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
Khalil Gibran
My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The I in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.
Khalil Gibran
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
When you part from your friend, you grieve not For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
Khalil Gibran
Every man is two men one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.
Khalil Gibran
The lights of stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So it is with great men who died centuries ago, but still reach us with the radiations of their personalities.
Khalil Gibran
All work is empty save when there is love.
Khalil Gibran
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran
But now I have learned to listen to silence. To hear its choirs singing the song of ages, chanting the hymns of space, and disclosing the secrets of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate.
Khalil Gibran
