Image
The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Remembrance is a form of meeting.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Extreme torture is mute, and so we sat silent, petrified, like columns of marble buried under the sand of an earthquake. Neither wished to listen to the other because our heart-threads had become weak and even breathing would have broken them.
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
Hearts united in pain and sorrow will not be separated by joy and happiness. Bonds that are woven in sadness are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure. Love that is washed by tears will remain eternally pure and faithful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Where are you now, my beloved? Do you hear my weeping From beyond the ocean? Do you understand my need? Do you know the greatness of my patience?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The mother is everything - she is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness. He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Take then this Book, look into it, and show me when Jesus was not forgiving. Read this diving tragedy and tell me where He speaks without mercy and compassion. You visit not the sick and the imprisoned nor do you feed the hungry or give refuge to the stranger or comfort to the mourner.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
Khalil Gibran
