Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons
Khalil Gibran
Image
The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love that does not renew itself every day becomes a habit and in turn a slavery.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life is but a sleep disturbed by dreaming, prompted by the will the saddened soul with sadness hides it's secrets, and the gay, with thrill.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When God created Man, he gave him Music as a language different from all other languages. And early man sang his glory in the wilderness and drew the hearts of kings and moved them from their thrones.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Braving obstacles and hardships is braver than retreat to tranquility.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
Khalil Gibran
