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.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.
Khalil Gibran
Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.
Khalil Gibran
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
Khalil Gibran
Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.
Khalil Gibran
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Your house is your larger body.
Khalil Gibran
Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.
Khalil Gibran
All work is empty save when there is love.
Khalil Gibran
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Khalil Gibran
And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
Khalil Gibran
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
A shy failure is nobler than an immodest success.
Khalil Gibran
Disagreement may be the shortest cut between two minds.
Khalil Gibran
Come with us to the field, or go with our brothers to the sea and cast your net. For the land and the sea shall be bountiful to you even as to us.
Khalil Gibran
Poetry is not the opinion stated. It is a song that appears instead of a bloody wound or a smiling mouth.
Khalil Gibran
