More quotes by 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
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
He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.
Khalil Gibran
Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end.
Khalil Gibran
Now let us play hide and seek. Should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. But should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you.
Khalil Gibran
All you have shall some day be given. Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors.
Khalil Gibran
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
Khalil Gibran
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Khalil Gibran
They have exiled me now from their society and I am pleased, because humanity does not exile except the one whose noble spirit rebels against despotism and oppression. He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom
Khalil Gibran
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran
And what word is knowledge but a shadow of wordless knowledge?
Khalil Gibran
The ageless melody, unheard, heals the healing vision, unseen, leads the true leaders, immortal, know...
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.
Khalil Gibran
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
