More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
Khalil Gibran
Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons
Khalil Gibran
The thirst of soul is sweeter than the wine of material things, and the fear of spirit is dearer than the security of the body.
Khalil Gibran
Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Khalil Gibran
Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape.
Khalil Gibran
Inspiration is in seeing a part of the whole with the part of the whole in you.
Khalil Gibran
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Khalil Gibran
Let your best be for your friend.
Khalil Gibran
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Khalil Gibran
A teacher can only lead you to the threshold of your own mind.
Khalil Gibran
Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness, for even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable.
Khalil Gibran
Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end.
Khalil Gibran
Darkness is dawn not yet born.
Khalil Gibran
One may not reach the dawn save by path of night.
Khalil Gibran
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
You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil. For a divided house is not a den of thieves it is only a divided house. And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.
Khalil Gibran
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
Khalil Gibran
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
Khalil Gibran
