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.

Inspiration is in seeing a part of the whole with the part of the whole in 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
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
Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed? See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran

A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.
Khalil Gibran

True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Anonymous Love possesses not nor would it be possessed For love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You cannot laugh and be unkind at the same time
Khalil Gibran
Image
Take then this Book, look into it, and show me when Jesus was not forgiving. Read this diving tragedy and tell me where He speaks without mercy and compassion. You visit not the sick and the imprisoned nor do you feed the hungry or give refuge to the stranger or comfort to the mourner.
Khalil Gibran
Image
My God, my aim and my fulfillment I am thy yesterday and thou are my tomorrow. I am they root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names. It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Spiritual awakening is the most essential thing in man's life, and it is the sole purpose of being. Is not civilization, in all its tragic forms, a supreme motive for spiritual awakening?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A traveller I am, and a navigator, and everyday I discover a new region within my soul.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
