More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
Khalil Gibran
Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.
Khalil Gibran
I have never agreed with my other self wholly. The truth of the matter seems to lie between us.
Khalil Gibran
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
Khalil Gibran
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
To barter and lose is better than not to go forth.
Khalil Gibran
When you see a man led to prison say in your heart, Mayhap he is escaping from a narrower prison. And when you see a man drunken say in your heart, Mayhap he sought escape from something still more unbeautiful.
Khalil Gibran
If any of you would bring judgment the unfaithful wife, let him also weight the heart of her husband in scales, and measure his soul with measurements.
Khalil Gibran
He who passes not his days in the realm of dreams is the slave of the days.
Khalil Gibran
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Only love and death will change all things.
Khalil Gibran
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Because the soul is like a flower that folds its petals when dark comes, and breathes not its fragrance into the phantoms of the night.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.
Khalil Gibran
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth./The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Khalil Gibran
Poetry is not the opinion stated. It is a song that appears instead of a bloody wound or a smiling mouth.
Khalil Gibran
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran
For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.
Khalil Gibran
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
And when you were a silent word upon Life's quivering lips, I too was there, another silent word. Then life uttered us and we came down the years throbbing with memories of yesterday and with longing for tomorrow, for yesterday was death conquered and tomorrow was birth pursued.
Khalil Gibran
