Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I have passed the mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the firmament of Complete and unbounded freedom I am in comfort, I am in peace.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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

Behind the veil of each night, there is a smilling dawn.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.

Khalil Gibran
Image
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets
Khalil Gibran
Image
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
Khalil Gibran
Image
The poet is a bird of strange moods. He descends from his lofty domain to tarry among us, singing if we do not honor him he will unfold his wings and fly back to his dwelling place.
Khalil Gibran
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
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Am I less man because I believe in a greater man?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
Khalil Gibran
