A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.

Knowledge and understanding are life's faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Many are the fools who say that Jesus stood in His own path and opposed Himself that He knew not His own mind, and in the absence of that knowledge confounded Himself.
Khalil Gibran
Image

Khalil Gibran

Trickery succeeds sometimes, but it always commits suicide.
Khalil Gibran

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
He was gentle, like a man mindful of his own strength. In my dreams I beheld the kings of the earth standing in awe in His presence.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The tiny flame that lights up the human heart is like a blazing torch that comes down from heaven to light up the paths of mankind. For in one soul are contained the hopes and feelings of all Mankind.
Khalil Gibran
