But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.
Khalil Gibran
The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.
Khalil Gibran
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Khalil Gibran
My yearning is my cup, my burning thirst is my drink, and my solitude is my intoxication I do not and shall not quench my thirst. But in this burning that is never extinguished is a joy that never wanes.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
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.
Khalil Gibran
True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Anonymous Love possesses not nor would it be possessed For love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
Khalil Gibran
Be patient, for it is from doubt that knowledge is born.
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
The tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.
Khalil Gibran
For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night.
Khalil Gibran
Virtue tested: Have I not survived hunger and thirst, suffering, and mockery for the sake of the truth which heaven has awakened in my heart?
Khalil Gibran
