Quote

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.

Image
We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A minute moving among the patterns of beauty and the dreams of love is greater and more precious than an age filled with splendor granted by the weak to the strong.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Philosophy began when man ate the produce of the earth and suffered indigestion.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life. Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.
Khalil Gibran
Image
My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear — a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence. The I in me, my friend, dwells in the house of silence, and therein it shall remain for ever more, unperceived, unapproachable.
Khalil Gibran
Image
As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All work is empty save when there is love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For what is prayer but the expansion of your self into the living ether?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Khalil Gibran
