For this I bless you most. You give much and know not that you give at all.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Friendship with the ignorant is as foolish as arguing with a drunkard.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Perhaps time’s definition of coal is the diamond.
Khalil Gibran

You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
Khalil Gibran
