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
You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Khalil Gibran
You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.
Khalil Gibran
Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
Braving obstacles and hardships is braver than retreat to tranquility.
Khalil Gibran
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.
Khalil Gibran
Work is love made visable.
Khalil Gibran
Am I a harp that the hand of the mighty may touch me, or a flute that his breath may pass through me? A seeker of silences am I, and what treasure have I found in silences that I may dispense with confidence?
Khalil Gibran
Every beauty and greatness in this world is created by a single thought or emotion inside a man. Every thing we see today, made by past generations, was, before its appearance, a thought in the mind of a man or an impulse in the heart of a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Rob a neighbour with a smile.
Khalil Gibran
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
Khalil Gibran
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
Khalil Gibran
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
Khalil Gibran
The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.
Khalil Gibran
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
In a dream I saw Jesus and My God Pan sitting together in the heart of the forest. They laughed at each other's speech, with the brook that ran near them, and the laughter of Jesus was the merrier. And they conversed long.
Khalil Gibran
Make me, oh God, the prey of the Lion, ere you make the rabbit my prey
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
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
Khalil Gibran
