Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
In the mouth of Society are many diseased teeth, decayed to the bones of the jaws. But Society makes no effort to have them extracted and be rid of the affliction. It contents itself with gold fillings.
Khalil Gibran
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
Khalil Gibran
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.
Khalil Gibran
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
Khalil Gibran
A word I want to see written on my grave: I am alive like you, and I am standing beside you. Close your eyes and look around, you will see me in front of you.
Khalil Gibran
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
Khalil Gibran
Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?
Khalil Gibran
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Khalil Gibran
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
Khalil Gibran
The tiny flame that lights up the human heart is like a blazing torch that comes down from heaven to light up the paths of mankind. For in one soul are contained the hopes and feelings of all Mankind.
Khalil Gibran
Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
Khalil Gibran
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
Say not, I have found the path of the soul Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.
Khalil Gibran
All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.
Khalil Gibran
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
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
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Khalil Gibran
