Image
Who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed? See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Inspiration will always sing inspiration will never explain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.
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
And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil Gibran

Love prides itself not only in the one who loves, but also in the beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
He who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All men love you for themselves. I love you for yourself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The first glance from the eyes of the beloved is like the spirit that moved upon the face of the waters, giving birth to heaven and earth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If we were to all sit in a circle and confess our sins, we would laugh at each other for lack of originality.
Khalil Gibran
Image
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
