Image
The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Because the soul is like a flower that folds its petals when dark comes, and breathes not its fragrance into the phantoms of the night.
Khalil Gibran
Image
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And what word is knowledge but a shadow of wordless knowledge?
Khalil Gibran
Image
I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.
Khalil Gibran
Image
True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Anonymous Love possesses not nor would it be possessed For love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your body is the harp of the soul.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be spaces in your togetherness
Khalil Gibran
Image
Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
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 hermit is one who renounces the world of fragments that he may enjoy the world wholly and without interruption.
Khalil Gibran
