Hearts united in pain and sorrow will not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadness are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tears will remain eternally pure and faithful.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Khalil Gibran
Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.
Khalil Gibran
Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
Extreme torture is mute, and so we sat silent, petrified, like columns of marble buried under the sand of an earthquake. Neither wished to listen to the other because our heart-threads had become weak and even breathing would have broken them.
Khalil Gibran
Am I less man because I believe in a greater man?
Khalil Gibran
I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.
Khalil Gibran
When you see a man led to prison say in your heart, Mayhap he is escaping from a narrower prison. And when you see a man drunken say in your heart, Mayhap he sought escape from something still more unbeautiful.
Khalil Gibran
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?
Khalil Gibran
Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive.
Khalil Gibran
True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Anonymous Love possesses not nor would it be possessed For love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
He who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage.
Khalil Gibran
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
Khalil Gibran
I would tell you more of Him, but how shall I? When love becomes vast love becomes wordless. And when memory is overladen it seeks the silent deep.
Khalil Gibran
There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
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
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
