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.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
Khalil Gibran
Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.
Khalil Gibran
All men love you for themselves. I love you for yourself.
Khalil Gibran
A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
I want every image to be the beginning of an unseen image.
Khalil Gibran
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
Khalil Gibran
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
Khalil Gibran
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran
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
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
Khalil Gibran
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil Gibran
History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.
Khalil Gibran
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
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.
Khalil Gibran
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
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
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil Gibran
In the depth of my soul there is A wordless song - a song that lives In the seed of my heart. It refuses to melt with ink on Parchment it engulfs my affection In a transparent cloak and flows, But not upon my lips.
Khalil Gibran
The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.
Khalil Gibran
