More quotes by Khalil Gibran
He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.
Khalil Gibran
Your confidence in the people, and your doubt about them, are closely related to your self-confidence and your self-doubt.
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
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
Khalil Gibran
Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.
Khalil Gibran
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
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
Khalil Gibran
I came here to be for all and with all, and what I do today in my solitude will be echoed tomorrow by the multitude. What I say now with one heart will be said tomorrow by thousands of hearts.
Khalil Gibran
Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Khalil Gibran
History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.
Khalil Gibran
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Khalil Gibran
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
Khalil Gibran
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting
Khalil Gibran
Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?
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
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.
Khalil Gibran
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
Khalil Gibran
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
