More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality
Khalil Gibran
Should you really open your eyes and see, you would behold your image in all images. And should you open your ears and listen, you would hear your own voice in all voices.
Khalil Gibran
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?
Khalil Gibran
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Khalil Gibran
And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.
Khalil Gibran
The tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.
Khalil Gibran
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
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
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
Khalil Gibran
Now let us play hide and seek. Should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. But should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you.
Khalil Gibran
We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.
Khalil Gibran
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
Khalil Gibran
Only those return to Eternity Who on earth seek out Eternity.
Khalil Gibran
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil Gibran
Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness.
Khalil Gibran
For a love to grow through the test of everyday living, one must respect that zone of privacy where one retires to relate to the inside instead of the outside.
Khalil Gibran
The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.
Khalil Gibran
