More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Your friend is your needs answered.
Khalil Gibran
A fox looked at his shadow at sunrise and said, “I will have a camel for lunch today.” And all morning he went about looking for camels. But at noon he saw his shadow again-and he said, “A mouse will do.
Khalil Gibran
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
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
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
Khalil Gibran
Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
Khalil Gibran
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
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
Khalil Gibran
When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
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
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
Khalil Gibran
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
Khalil Gibran
Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)
Khalil Gibran
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran
Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape.
Khalil Gibran
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
Disagreement may be the shortest cut between two minds.
Khalil Gibran
Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Khalil Gibran
