Khalil Gibran

Should you really open your eyes and see, you would behold your image in all images. And should you open your ears and listen, you would hear your own voice in all voices.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When a man's hand touches the hand of a woman, they both touch the heart of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.
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
You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
