All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?
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
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
Image
The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Perhaps time’s definition of coal is the diamond.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Those who give you a serpent when you ask for a fish, may have nothing but serpents to give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To know the pain of too much tenderness
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
Image
...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.
Khalil Gibran
