Khalil Gibran
When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
Khalil Gibran
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
Khalil Gibran
For what is prayer but the expansion of your self into the living ether?
Khalil Gibran
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
Khalil Gibran
You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done.
Khalil Gibran
The heart's affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree if the tree loses one strong branch it will suffer but it does not die it will pour all its vitality into the next branch so that it will grow and fill the empty place.
Khalil Gibran
