Quote

For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Those who give you a serpent when you ask for a fish, may have nothing but serpents to give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is only when you are pursued that you become swift.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you would behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one.
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
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
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Khalil Gibran
Image
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And only the sure of foot can give a hand to him who stumbles.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.
Khalil Gibran

The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
