Love has the power that dispels death charm that conquers the enemy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?
Khalil Gibran

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.
Khalil Gibran

If it were not for guests all houses would be graves.

But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.
Khalil Gibran

The lights of stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So it is with great men who died centuries ago, but still reach us with the radiations of their personalities.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poetry is not the opinion stated. It is a song that appears instead of a bloody wound or a smiling mouth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you would behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The most wonderful thing, Mary, is that you and I are always walking together, hand in hand, in a strangely beautiful world, unknown to other people. We both stretch one hand to receive from Life - and Life is generous indeed.
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
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin, and calls all others naked and shameless?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness.
Khalil Gibran
