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
If your knowledge teaches you not the value of things, and frees you not from the bondage to matter, you shall never come near the throne of Truth.
Khalil Gibran
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
Khalil Gibran
Love has the power that dispels death charm that conquers the enemy.
Khalil Gibran
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil Gibran
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Khalil Gibran
Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
Khalil Gibran
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.” “Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving
Khalil Gibran
Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets
Khalil Gibran
The ageless melody, unheard, heals the healing vision, unseen, leads the true leaders, immortal, know...
Khalil Gibran
When we oppose the hidden conscience, it does us hurt. When we betray it, it judges us.
Khalil Gibran
The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.
Khalil Gibran
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
Khalil Gibran
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Khalil Gibran
One may not reach the dawn save by path of night.
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
A hermit is one who renounces the world of fragments that he may enjoy the world wholly and without interruption.
Khalil Gibran
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
Khalil Gibran
Conscience is a just but weak judge. Weakness leaves it powerless to execute its judgment.
Khalil Gibran
Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
Khalil Gibran
