More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
Khalil Gibran
Image
If any of you would bring judgment the unfaithful wife, let him also weight the heart of her husband in scales, and measure his soul with measurements.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In truth you owe naught to any man. You owe to all men.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.
Khalil Gibran

Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy
Khalil Gibran
Image
What is fear of need but need itself?
Khalil Gibran
Image
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them - but do not a make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.
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
For a love to grow through the test of everyday living, one must respect that zone of privacy where one retires to relate to the inside instead of the outside.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Art is a step in the known toward the unknown
