More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Say not, I have found the path of the soul Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I have never agreed with my other self wholly. The truth of the matter seems to lie between us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thinking is always the stumbling stone to poetry.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I am bored with gabbers and their gab my soul abhors them. . . . Is there any place where there is no traffic in empty talk? Is there on this earth one who does not worship himself talking?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
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
Image
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Khalil Gibran
Image
One may not reach the dawn save by path of night.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Image
How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who passes not his days in the realm of dreams is the slave of the days.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love and when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.
Khalil Gibran
Image
No human relation gives one possession in another—every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Khalil Gibran
