Khalil Gibran
Image

Khalil Gibran
Image

Khalil Gibran
Image
It is only when you are pursued that you become swift.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
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
Love prides itself not only in the one who loves, but also in the beloved.
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
Inspiration is in seeing a part of the whole with the part of the whole in you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin, and calls all others naked and shameless?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.
