Life without Liberty is like a body without spirit. Liberty without thought is like a disturbed spirit.
Khalil Gibran

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran

The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place.
Khalil Gibran

For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night.
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
Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You have your ideology and I have mine.
Khalil Gibran

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The thirst of soul is sweeter than the wine of material things, and the fear of spirit is dearer than the security of the body.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Say not, I have found the path of the soul Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The nearest to my heart are a king without a kingdom and a poor man who does not know how to beg.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
