Image
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth./The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Khalil Gibran
Image
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For the sight of the angry weather saddens my soul and the sight of the town, sitting like a bereaved mother beneath layers of ice, oppresses my heart.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.
Khalil Gibran

My God, my aim and my fulfillment I am thy yesterday and thou are my tomorrow. I am they root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun.

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
The soul is an embryo in the body of Man, and the day of death is the Day of awakening, for it is the Great era of labour and the rich Hour of creation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
Khalil Gibran

Life without Liberty is like a body without spirit. Liberty without thought is like a disturbed spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To know the pain of too much tenderness
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They consider me to have sharp and penetrating vision because I see them through the mesh of a sieve.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.
Khalil Gibran
