Image
In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you part from your friend, you grieve not For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility. The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that lives in a dark tunnel.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To belittle, you have to be little.
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
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
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
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy
Khalil Gibran
Image
He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon which angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
They have exiled me now from their society and I am pleased, because humanity does not exile except the one whose noble spirit rebels against despotism and oppression. He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom
Khalil Gibran
Image
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Thinking is always the stumbling stone to poetry.
Khalil Gibran
