When you part from your friend, you grieve not For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
But now I have learned to listen to silence. To hear its choirs singing the song of ages, chanting the hymns of space, and disclosing the secrets of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
Khalil Gibran
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
Khalil Gibran
Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
Khalil Gibran
Work is love made visable.
Khalil Gibran
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
You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.
Khalil Gibran
Your house is your larger body.
Khalil Gibran
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
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
Birth and Death are the two noblest expressions of bravery.
Khalil Gibran
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Khalil Gibran
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
Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
This for God and this for myself This for my soul, and this other for my body?
Khalil Gibran
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
Khalil Gibran
Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.
Khalil Gibran
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
Khalil Gibran
They tell me: If you see a slave sleeping, do not wake him lest he be dreaming of freedom. I tell them: If you see a slave sleeping, wake him and explain to him freedom.
Khalil Gibran
