More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
It is only when you are pursued that you become swift.
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
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Am I a harp that the hand of the mighty may touch me, or a flute that his breath may pass through me? A seeker of silences am I, and what treasure have I found in silences that I may dispense with confidence?
Khalil Gibran
Image
And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. Doubt is a foundling unhappy and astray, and though his own mother who gave him birth should find him and enfold him, he would withdraw in caution and in fear.
Khalil Gibran
Image
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
Image
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Darkness is dawn not yet born.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I have found both freedom and safety in my madness the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)
Khalil Gibran
Image
Do not keep crying when your love has been gone. You only need Smile because he had been given you the opportunity to meet someone who is better.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To barter and lose is better than not to go forth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.
Khalil Gibran
