More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Friendship with the ignorant is as foolish as arguing with a drunkard.
Khalil Gibran
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran
The first glance from the eyes of the beloved is like the spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, giving birth to heaven and earth.
Khalil Gibran
A teacher can only lead you to the threshold of your own mind.
Khalil Gibran
And alone and without his nest shall the Eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.
Khalil Gibran
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
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
You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation.
Khalil Gibran
God has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Khalil Gibran
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy
Khalil Gibran
The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.
Khalil Gibran
Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
Khalil Gibran
You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
Khalil Gibran
From a sensitive woman's heart springs the happiness of mankind, and from the kindness of her noble spirit comes mankind's affection.
Khalil Gibran
Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness, for even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable.
Khalil Gibran
And if there come the singers, and the dancers and the flute players - buy of their gifts also. For they too are gatherers of fruit and frankincense, and that which they bring, though fashioned of dreams, is raiment and fod for your soul.
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
The soul is an embryo in the body of Man, and the day of death is the Day of awakening, for it is the Great era of labour and the rich Hour of creation.
Khalil Gibran
