More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All men love you for themselves. I love you for yourself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.
Khalil Gibran
Image
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You have your ideology and I have mine.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked. The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
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
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may chain my hands, you may shackle my feet you may even throw me into a dark prison but you shall not enslave my thinking, because it is free!
Khalil Gibran
Image
Take then this Book, look into it, and show me when Jesus was not forgiving. Read this diving tragedy and tell me where He speaks without mercy and compassion. You visit not the sick and the imprisoned nor do you feed the hungry or give refuge to the stranger or comfort to the mourner.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Remember that Divinity is the true self of Man. It cannot be sold for gold neither can it be heaped up as are the riches of the world today. The rich man has cast off his Divinity, and has clung to his gold. And the young today have forsaken their Divinity and pursue self-indulgence and pleasure.
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 optimist sees the rose and not its thorns the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
