Image
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
Khalil Gibran
Image

If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love prides itself not only in the one who loves, but also in the beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.
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
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
Image
Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
