Image
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them - but do not a make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Your body is the harp of the soul.
Khalil Gibran

And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let your home be you mast and not your anchor.
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
And alone and without his nest shall the Eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All work is empty save when there is love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If it's a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you would behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The saint and the sinner are twin brothers...one was born but the moment before the other.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Khalil Gibran
