Image
Jesus was not sent here to teach the people to build magnificent churches and temples amidst the cold wretched huts and dismal hovels. He came to make the human heart a temple, and the soul an altar, and the mind a priest.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To know the pain of too much tenderness
Khalil Gibran
Image
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Hearts united in pain and sorrow will not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadness are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tears will remain eternally pure and faithful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.
Khalil Gibran

Man struggles to find life outside himself, unaware that the life he is seeking is within him.
Khalil Gibran

Pity it is we drowse too soon Pity it is we fall asleep Ere our song encompass the height Ere our hand inherit the deep
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
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
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Remember that Divinity is the true self of Man. It cannot be sold for gold neither can it be heaped up as are the riches of the world today. The rich man has cast off his Divinity, and has clung to his gold. And the young today have forsaken their Divinity and pursue self-indulgence and pleasure.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love has the power that dispels death charm that conquers the enemy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Follow your heart. Your heart is the right guide in everything big. Mine is so limited. What you want to do is determined by that divine element that is in each of us.
Khalil Gibran
