Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive.
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
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
Every man is two men one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.
Khalil Gibran
A hermit is one who renounces the world of fragments that he may enjoy the world wholly and without interruption.
Khalil Gibran
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Khalil Gibran
They tell me: If you see a slave sleeping, do not wake him lest he be dreaming of freedom. I tell them: If you see a slave sleeping, wake him and explain to him freedom.
Khalil Gibran
All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
Khalil Gibran
A woman whom Providence has provided with beauty of spirit and body is a truth, at the same time both open and secret, which we can understand only by love, and touch only by virtue.
Khalil Gibran
History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.
Khalil Gibran
The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
God has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Khalil Gibran
Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.
Khalil Gibran
What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?
Khalil Gibran
A teacher can only lead you to the threshold of your own mind.
Khalil Gibran
The most wonderful thing, Mary, is that you and I are always walking together, hand in hand, in a strangely beautiful world, unknown to other people. We both stretch one hand to receive from Life - and Life is generous indeed.
Khalil Gibran
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Khalil Gibran
Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
Khalil Gibran
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
My God, my aim and my fulfillment I am thy yesterday and thou are my tomorrow. I am they root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun.
Khalil Gibran
