More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You often say, I would give, but only to the deserving. The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The most wonderful thing, Mary, is that you and I are always walking together, hand in hand, in a strangely beautiful world, unknown to other people. We both stretch one hand to receive from Life - and Life is generous indeed.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is a magic ray emitted from the burning core of the soul and illuminating the surrounding earth. It enables us to perceive life as a beautiful dream between one awakening and another.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
Khalil Gibran
Image
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Some who are too scrupulous to steal your possessions nevertheless see no wrong in tampering with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To belittle, you have to be little.
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
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Saying this, he turned his head toward the window as if he were trying to solve the problems of human existence by concentrating on the beauty of the universe.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Khalil Gibran
