More quotes by Khalil Gibran
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
Khalil Gibran
He who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage.
Khalil Gibran
Let your home be you mast and not your anchor.
Khalil Gibran
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Am I less man because I believe in a greater man?
Khalil Gibran
Remember that Divinity is the true self of Man. It cannot be sold for gold neither can it be heaped up as are the riches of the world today. The rich man has cast off his Divinity, and has clung to his gold. And the young today have forsaken their Divinity and pursue self-indulgence and pleasure.
Khalil Gibran
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran
Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
Khalil Gibran
Some who are too scrupulous to steal your possessions nevertheless see no wrong in tampering with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
Khalil Gibran
They have exiled me now from their society and I am pleased, because humanity does not exile except the one whose noble spirit rebels against despotism and oppression. He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom
Khalil Gibran
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.
Khalil Gibran
Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate.
Khalil Gibran
You have your ideology and I have mine.
Khalil Gibran
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
You are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.
Khalil Gibran
You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
Khalil Gibran
That which seems most feeble and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined. Is it not your breath that has erected and hardened the structure of your bones?
Khalil Gibran
