Image
And that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The mother is everything - she is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness. He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly
Khalil Gibran
Image
Virtue tested: Have I not survived hunger and thirst, suffering, and mockery for the sake of the truth which heaven has awakened in my heart?
Khalil Gibran
Image
For the sight of the angry weather saddens my soul and the sight of the town, sitting like a bereaved mother beneath layers of ice, oppresses my heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And alone and without his nest shall the Eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
That which seems most feeble and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined. Is it not your breath that has erected and hardened the structure of your bones?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You often say, I would give, but only to the deserving. The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Braving obstacles and hardships is braver than retreat to tranquility.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.
Khalil Gibran
