More quotes by Khalil Gibran
He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.
Khalil Gibran
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
Khalil Gibran
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
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
Khalil Gibran
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
In every aspect of the day Jesus was aware of the Father. He beheld Him in the clouds and in the shadows of the clouds that pass over the earth.
Khalil Gibran
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin, and calls all others naked and shameless?
Khalil Gibran
You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done.
Khalil Gibran
The truly great man is he who would master no one, and who would be mastered by none.
Khalil Gibran
Birth and Death are the two noblest expressions of bravery.
Khalil Gibran
Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran
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
For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.
Khalil Gibran
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
Khalil Gibran
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil Gibran
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
My God, my aim and my fulfillment I am thy yesterday and thou are my tomorrow. I am they root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?
Khalil Gibran
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.
Khalil Gibran
When a man's hand touches the hand of a woman, they both touch the heart of eternity.
Khalil Gibran
