And alone and without his nest shall the Eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A woman whom Providence has provided with beauty of spirit and body is a truth, at the same time both open and secret, which we can understand only by love, and touch only by virtue.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Friendship with the ignorant is as foolish as arguing with a drunkard.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
Khalil Gibran
Image
God has made many doors opening into truth which He opens to all who knock upon them with hands of faith.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
And if there come the singers, and the dancers and the flute players - buy of their gifts also. For they too are gatherers of fruit and frankincense, and that which they bring, though fashioned of dreams, is raiment and fod for your soul.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be spaces in your togetherness
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
You are not enclosed within your bodies, nor confined to houses or fields. That which is you dwells above the mountain and roves with the wind.
Khalil Gibran
