More quotes by Khalil Gibran
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
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
Khalil Gibran
All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
Khalil Gibran
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Khalil Gibran
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
Khalil Gibran
What is fear of need but need itself?
Khalil Gibran
I came here to be for all and with all, and what I do today in my solitude will be echoed tomorrow by the multitude. What I say now with one heart will be said tomorrow by thousands of hearts.
Khalil Gibran
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin, and calls all others naked and shameless?
Khalil Gibran
You are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.
Khalil Gibran
The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.
Khalil Gibran
I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.
Khalil Gibran
If any of you would bring judgment the unfaithful wife, let him also weight the heart of her husband in scales, and measure his soul with measurements.
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
Remember, one just man causes the Devil greater affliction than a million blind believers.
Khalil Gibran
If it were not for guests all houses would be graves.
Khalil Gibran
Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Khalil Gibran
Say not, I have found the path of the soul Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.
Khalil Gibran
A God who is good knows no segregation amongst words or names. And were a God to deny his blessing to those who pursue a different path to eternity, there would be no human who should offer worship.
Khalil Gibran
The mother is everything - she is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness. He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly
