For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.

Image
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting
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
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is a magic ray emitted from the burning core of the soul and illuminating the surrounding earth. It enables us to perceive life as a beautiful dream between one awakening and another.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The heart's affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree if the tree loses one strong branch it will suffer but it does not die it will pour all its vitality into the next branch so that it will grow and fill the empty place.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
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
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.
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
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Those to whom worshiping is a window, to open but also to shut, have not yet visited the house of their souls whose windows are open from dawn to dawn.
Khalil Gibran
