The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
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.

Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names. It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A truly religious man does not embrace a religion and he who embraces one has no religion.

We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.

The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.
Khalil Gibran

When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
you can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?
Khalil Gibran
