Quote

Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
You are not enclosed within your bodies, nor confined to houses or fields. That which is you dwells above the mountain and roves with the wind.
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
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
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
Image
Give me an ear and I will give you a Voice.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The most solid stone in the structure is the lowest one in the foundation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland.
Khalil Gibran
Image
But now I have learned to listen to silence. To hear its choirs singing the song of ages, chanting the hymns of space, and disclosing the secrets of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
Khalil Gibran
Image
As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
Khalil Gibran
Image
My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The I in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Behind the veil of each night, there is a smilling dawn.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
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
To belittle, you have to be little.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran
