There are those who give little of the much which they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He was gentle, like a man mindful of his own strength. In my dreams I beheld the kings of the earth standing in awe in His presence.
Khalil Gibran
Image
She danced the dance of flames and fire, and the dance of swords and spears she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.
Khalil Gibran

Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The wolves prey upon the lambs in the darkness of the night, but the blood stains remain upon the stones in the valley until the dawn comes, and the sun reveals the crime to all.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans in one aspect of You are found all the aspects of existence.
Khalil Gibran
Image
you can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?
Khalil Gibran
Image
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Perhaps time’s definition of coal is the diamond.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thinking is always the stumbling stone to poetry.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.
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
